Beguiling Cairn Terriers

Cairn Terriers are little dogs with big personalities.  Life is all about having fun.  With patience, a sense of humour and positive training methods, Cairns may be successful in performance sports including agility, earth dog, barn hunt, and flyball.  

Cairn Terriers require a secure fenced-in yard. They have a strong prey drive so they cannot be trusted off-leash.  Cairns may chase anything that moves  – birds, rabbits, squirrels, cars… oblivious to the dangers they may present.  When on the chase, Cairns are so focused they do not hear anything, especially their owner’s voice.  As earth dogs, they do love to dig  – under fences, in gardens, or even in the lawn. The joyful nature and expressive face cannot help but warm your heart.
