  • The Cairn is a Terrier, which means his natural instincts are to bark, dig, and chase. These behaviors can be minimized with training, but they can't be eliminated. If you don't enjoy the typical terrier temperament, you should consider another breed.
  • The Cairn is intelligent and curious. He also has a mind of his own. He will challenge your authority--good naturedly, of course--but you must be able to establish and maintain your role as pack leader, or he'll get the upper hand.
  • The Cairn loves the attention of his family. Do not leave him alone for long periods of time or he may become destructive.
  • The Cairn Terrier often thinks he's bigger than he actually is. Don't be surprised if he stands up for himself against large dogs or animals.
  • To get a healthy dog, never buy a puppy from an irresponsible breeder, puppy mill, or pet store. Look for a reputable breeder who tests her breeding dogs to make sure they're free of genetic diseases that they might pass onto the puppies, and that they have sound temperaments.
