Cairn Terrier

Cairn Terriers''' are hardy terriers with a lot of energy. They have a shaggy, double, water-resistant coat that normally comes in white and black.'''

Origin
Cairns came around in the 1500s in the Highlands of Scotland. It was considered the same breed as the  "Scottish Terrier" and the "West Highland White Terrier," until they started to breed separately. It is also believed to be related to the "Skye Terrier." It was named "Cairn" because it would squeeze into 'cairns' or rock dens where foxes and badgers lived, and bark until a farmer could come and get its finding. It was recognized by the AKC in 1913.

Temperament
The Cairn Terrier is very alert, loyal and curious. They love playing with children. Although they are independent, they will listen to humans if proper leadership is found in them. Beware of digging, as they are fearless vermin hunters. They can be trained but owners need to be firm, never harsh. When they spot a small animal, they will bolt off, chasing it. Without a good, strong leader, the dogs will develop "Small Dog Syndrome," which will develop stubbornness, growling, biting and guarding.
