Cairn Terrier Puppies for Sale - Dog Breed Information

Size : Small

Origin : Great Britain (Scotland)

INTRODUCTION
The name Cairn came from this terrier's ability to recover vermin from the small entries in stone grave markers also known as "cairns." This breed is the ancestor of Westies, Skyes, and Scotties. It is the closest resemblance to the Highland Terrier. The most well known Cairn Terrier was Toto from the movie "The Wizard of Oz."

APPEARANCE
That of an active, game, hardy, small working terrier of the short-legged class; very free in its movements, strongly but not heavily built, standing well forward on its forelegs, deep in the ribs, well coupled with strong hindquarters and presenting a well-proportioned build with a medium length of back, having a hard, weather-resisting coat; head shorter and wider than any other terrier and well furnished with hair giving a general foxy expression.

CHARACTERISTICS
This little dog is intelligent and friendly. They are very active and have a great amount of stamina.
