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.
Here is the schedule & rosettes/prizes for the dog show to be held at our Fun Day next month 😀 Some fun categories there for you and your dog to enjoy <3 Click on each photo below to see the full page.
14th Aug - 14 year old Archie is with the Pineapple Pet Sanctuary in the West Midlands. He is in need of a new home. click on the link below for more informationFOR ADOPTION 😍
Archie, 14yr old cairn type terrier, has now been back for nearly 2wks and as of yet not put a foot wrong!! He's mixing with 10 other dogs, varying size, age and breed, inhouse crazy children and just pootles around!! We have non of the behaviour he did in home with Tess or with Jill, all we've had is typical terrier ankles on way out by a stranger 😅 our old girl Trixie was a demon for that!!! He is on skullcap and valerian which may or may not be helping, so inclined to think it's not dementia it's attention jealousy in home? First few nights he had his own room just incase but last week he's slept in lounge with the others and me, and I've been up and down at all hours not seen an ounce of aggression, attention is obviously shared not on him alone he's part of a pack. If back as a solo dog it may reassert itself so must be prepared incase to have a seperate bedtime room. He is a lovely old boy and actually no real bother, likes to wander. sunbathe and siesta xx
13th Aug - Pippin is still missing bless her, ........ owners phone numbers below if sighted.
