About The Breed

The Cairn Terrier is a small, spirited, and lively breed known for its rugged appearance and confident personality. Originally bred for hunting small game in the Scottish Highlands, Cairn Terriers are energetic, curious, and independent, with a natural instinct to dig and explore. Despite their feisty nature, they are affectionate, loyal, and make excellent companions, especially for active individuals or families. Cairn Terriers are good with children and other pets, though their boldness may sometimes lead to them challenging larger dogs. Their dense, wiry coat requires regular grooming, but their playful, intelligent, and loving nature makes them a popular choice for those looking for a compact yet spirited dog.
