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.
