When most people hear the word terrier, they picture Toto, the Cairn Terrier in The Wizard of Oz — and rightfully so, because this sturdy little dog breed is everything a terrier was designed to be: strong, hardy, up on his toes, confident, plucky, and spirited.
The Cairn Terrier loves to play and needs his daily walks, but is adaptable to any home in which he can be a full participant and busybody and where his bold terrier traits are kept under control.
Adult Cairn Terriers may be friendly or reserved with strangers, but are always alert and quick to announce guests.
This breed can be scrappy and bossy with other pets, but will co-exist with them more readily than some other terriers. However, strange animals may be a different story, as the Cairn Terrier was bred to hunt and will chase anything that moves.
He is inquisitive, so a leash or fenced yard is essential at all times.
Assertive but cheerful, with typical terrier stubbornness, the Cairn Terrier must be shown that you are in charge. He does respond well to consistent discipline and to obedience training that focuses on treats and praise.
Cairn Terriers can be possessive of their food and toys. And being respectable terriers, they are enthusiastic diggers and barkers.
UPDATE 18th June - The boys owners have now decided that relatives are going to take care of boys, so fingers crossed that everything goes well for them.UPDATE 13th June RESERVED-
"Can all of the people who have been sent forms please complete them and return them to me now. We will be going through the forms on Friday, as I am away tomorrow, so you will have all day tomorrow to send the forms in. I have marked the boys as Reserved, as we have had a tremendous response from you offering them homes. Thank you for all of your likes, comments and shares. Once again you have proved that you really care when a dog is in need of help. The decision of who the dogs go to will be made on Friday."
12th June - Roary (5 year old Westie) and Oscar (9 year old Cairn) both microchipped and neutered, and are due to have their vaccinations shortly.
They are looking for a forever home together. They don't appear to have any vices other than the typical pulling on lead, and chasing anything that moves!! Apparently there is a baby in the house who has allergies, so the two boys have to go. They live near to Derby.

5 year old Socks was re-homed 3 years ago this week through our CTRF Rescue. He was a bit unsure of himself back then but that’s all changed now. He went to live with Jill and her Border Collie Balla, as you can see he is very loved and happy. Thank you Jill for the follow up photo’s and giving him a loving happy home.
“Hi All. It is 3yrs now since I adopted Socks, he has changed so much loves to play with all toys now, follows me around like my shadow, Balla and socks get on great and love to play.
