Cairn Terriers - History

Cairn Terriers are considered to be the oldest pure British terriers. Bishop Lesley of Ross mentioned the Cairn Terrier as far back as the 15th century. Cairn Terriers were initially bred to hunt and kill foxes, otters and other vermin. They had to be hardy enough to be able to go into the holes and about the rocks to get their prey. The word "cairn" itself means a heap of stones. Cairn Terriers are native to rocky districts of Scotland. The Isle of Skye is called a genuine place of the breed's origin. Early Cairn Terriers excelled in removing rodents from the stone cairns commonly found on Scottish farms.

Nowadays, Cairn Terriers are more of a companion animal. Being long-lived dogs with very few health problems, they make wonderful family friends.

Cairn Terriers - Obedience Training

Cairns are versatile dogs and learn rather quickly. However, you should make training your Cairn challenging and interesting, not repetitive and boring. Cairn Terriers are considered easy to housetrain. The fact that Cairn Terriers have a natural desire to please their people makes training a pleasant and rewarding process.

Cairn Terriers - Grooming Requirements

As Cairn Terriers have a waterproof harsh coat that does not shed, they can be called low maintenance dogs.

Grooming sessions can be confined to a few minutes with the slicker brush every two days.

Nail clipping and tooth brushing will maintain the Cairn's good condition. If nail clipping is neglected, the overgrown nails can hurt the dog's feet.
