FAQs

What are the disadvantages of a Cairn Terrier?

Cairn Terriers have some health concerns including eye problems like cataracts and progressive retinal atrophy, dental issues, and a genetic jaw condition called craniomandibular osteopathy. They can also be quite strong-willed and independent, requiring consistent training and patience. Additionally, they tend to bark excessively, which may be challenging in noise-sensitive environments. They may be less comfortable around children, cats, and other pets compared to similar breeds and require regular grooming due to moderate shedding.

Is a Cairn Terrier a good pet?

Yes, Cairn Terriers are clever, energetic, and entertaining companions, especially suited to smaller families or couples who can manage their independent nature and provide consistent training. They have a hardy constitution and a long lifespan of 13 to 15 years but need attentive health care, particularly dental and eye maintenance. They adapt well to apartment or smaller home living but may not be ideal for large families or homes with many other pets due to their temperament.

Does a Cairn Terrier bark a lot?

Yes, Cairn Terriers are known for their frequent barking, which is characteristic of their alert and protective terrier nature. They often bark more than similar breeds, which makes them good watchdogs but may require training to manage in quieter living environments.

What is the difference between a Norwich Terrier and a Cairn Terrier?

Norwich Terriers are generally friendlier, easier to train, better with children and cats, and bark less compared to Cairn Terriers. Cairn Terriers tend to be more independent, strong-willed, and bark more often. Both breeds need similar exercise and grooming, but Cairns may face slightly more health issues. Norwich Terriers are better suited for larger families and first-time owners, while Cairn Terriers do better in smaller family settings and require more consistent training.
