About the Breed
This small working Terrier, developed in the Hebrides and
Western Highlands, is probably descended from the same parent
stock as the Scottish Terrier, Skye Terrier and West Highland
White Terrier, and has changed little since the end of the
last century. Keenly alert, the Cairn has a foxy or varminty
expression quite in keeping with its fearless and gay disposition.
Its original work was to ‘rout out foxes, badgers, martins
and wildcats from their dens’.
One of a number of localised Scottish breeds of terrier that
have become known to dog-lovers throughout the world, the
Cairn’s history dates back over 500 years. It evolved
in the west of the country and also on the Isle of Skye, whence
the Skye Terrier also originated. Indeed, when they were first
exhibited in 1909, Cairns were described as Short-haired Skye
Terriers, but objections from Skye breeders led to the adoption
of their current name. Cairn Terriers, so-called after the
Gaelic word for a pyramid of stones, would often hunt vermin
in the vicinity of such stones, and this name now has universal
acceptance. The Cairn was introduced in the United States
in 1913.
These terriers are very even-tempered and affectionate, making
them an ideal choice for a home where there are children.
They will readily take part in ball-games and other family
activities. Their shaggy coat provides adequate protection
against the elements. If the opportunity presents itself,
Cairn Terriers will instinctively hunt vermin –still
an advantageous trait, especially in rural areas.
One possible drawback of their tendency to go to ground is
their desire to dig, and they may have to be taught not to
use flowerbeds for this purpose. However, this is a small
problem that can usually be overcome without difficulty.
