The Cairn Terrier may be best suited to a owner with some level of experience in ownership.
 
 The Cairn Terrier gets along well with children, especially those that are older and considerate, and will enjoy playing and joining in with family activities. He will usually get along well with other pets too, although they can be a little bossy. With other males of the same breed they can tend to be a little aggressive.

 The Cairn Terrier Dog
 The vivacious little Cairn Terrier is an active, hardy, small working terrier. He is free in movement, strong, but not heavily built. This breeds head

is shorter and wider than any other terriers and well furnished with hair giving a general foxy expression. He is a wonderful family dog, but will always remember his ancestry as a "sporting terrier". He makes a very active, inquisitive and "ready to go" dog. He is a great for the house and is very good with children. Energetic and always on the watch, he will alert you to the presence of strangers by growling.
 
 Cairn Terrier Skills
 The ancestors of today's Cairn Terrier earned their keep routing vermin from the rock piles (called cairns) commonly found on Scottish farmland. These early terriers were highly prized and bred for their working ability, not appearance. Gradually the breeds known as the Scottish Terrier and the West Highland White evolved and were named. The Cairn (the last to be formally named) remained the closest to the original small working terrier, bolting the fox, otter and weasel, sharing the meager fare of the crofter's household. Today the Cairn Terrier in America is a sensible, confident little dog, independent but friendly with everyone he meets. Alert, intelligent and long-lived, the Cairn tends to remain active and playful well into his teen years, endearing him to children.
 
 Cairn Terrier Personality
 The Cairn Terrier is affectionate and eager to learn. It is lively, intelligent, and playful. This needs to be socialized early with cats and other household pets. Occasionally it will fight other dogs.
