Cairn Terrier Puppies 

Cairn terriers are eager to please, fun loving and energetic.  These dogs are intelligent and assertive, so should be obedience trained and socialized from an early age.  Cairns make wonderful family pets, enjoying playing with children. This breed does well as a single pet or with other pets and can easily adapt to city or apartment life. 

While being a good watchdog, it’s critical to control excessive barking early in life.  These pups are very smart and excel in obedience training.  

The Cairn terrier has medium length legs and a broad head, usually with dark colors around the muzzle.  This breed’s coat is water resistant with a firm outer coat and a soft undercoat.  Colors range from red to gray, wheaten or black. 

Cairns need to be brushed and combed weekly.  Trimming their coats four times per year will keep them in optimal shape. 

Cairns originated in 16th century Scotland and were used for hunting foxes in their cliff-side dens.
