Dogs 101 - CAIRN TERRIER - Top Dog Facts About the CAIRN TERRIER
The Cairn Terrier is a breed of short-legged dogs, one of several that developed on the Scottish island of Skye. These are working dogs that have been used to hunt small animals like fox, badger and otter from at least the 15th century. Till the 1870s, the different varieties of terriers from this part of Scotland were all known as Scotch Terriers and were obtained from the same stock. In 1873, these were classified into DandieDinmont and Skye Terriers, with the breeds known today as West Highland White Terrier, the Scottish Terrier and the Cairn Terrier all being included in the latter group. Around 1910, the Cairn Terrier was identified as a separate breed, initially known as the Short-haired Skye Terrier. On opposition from Skye Terrier breeders, the current name was eventually adopted. The breed’s popularity in England, and subsequently USA, has been helped by the fact that it resembles the original Scotch Terrier stock the closest among the modern terrier breeds, and is ideal for those looking for a least-sculpted, working terrier.
Time for some Ruff Trivia:
- Since the most famous Cairn Terrier is Terry from The Wizard of Oz, can you tell us the name of the character played by it?
o A: Nikko
o B: Zeke
o C: Toto
What do you think, give it your best guess in the comments below before we get to the answer! Hang on tight and we’ll get back to this Ruff Trivia Question toward the end of the video.
The Cairn Terrierhas a height of about 9.5 to 10 inches, and weighs between 13 to 14 pounds. It is a hardy, active and game dog, short-legged, but not as low to the ground as other Scottish terriers. Its head is shorter and wider than other terriers, giving it good jaw strength. Its well-proportioned strong build, with a medium length of back, provides it with the ability to fit into close quarters. The muzzle is strong, but not too long or heavy; the jaws have neither an undershot nor an overshot; eyes are set wide apart and somewhat sunken, with shaggy eyebrows; and the ears are small, pointed, set wide apart and carried erect. The coat is hard and weather resistant, with a profuse harsh outer coat and a close, soft and furry undercoat. The color can be black, cream, wheaten, red, sandy or gray, or brindled in any of these colors.
Grooming:The Cairn Terrier doesn't shed much, and a brush twice a week should be enough for regular maintenance. Careful hand stripping to remove dead hair and to help the coat and skin remain healthy is necessary twice a year. Use of clippers or shears is not advised as it can ruin the dog’s rugged coat. Other than this, brushing of teeth, cleaning of ears and occasional trimming of nails has to be taken care of.
Temperament:Cairn Terriers are known as the quintessential terriers - spirited, bold, inquisitive, tough and clever. They enjoy human company, and most of these dogs are known to try and do things to please their masters. They get along well with children, and unlike many other small dogs are also strong enough to not require constant adult supervision. They can be aggressive with other dogs, and might try to chase small animals.
Training:The Cairn Terrier can be a sensitive dog, and training should always be firm, but never harsh. It can be stubborn, and early obedience training is highly recommended. Its active nature means that about an hour of playing in the yard or a walk on leash everyday is needed to keep the Cairn Terrier happy.
Health:The typical life span for a Cairn Terrier is between 12 and 15 years. Although a generally healthy breed, some causes of concern can be cataracts, hip dysplasia, globoid cell leukodystrophy (a degenerative disorder), patellar luxation, von Willebrand’s Disease, and some eye-related issues.
Foxy in appearance and intelligence, the plucky Cairn Terrier can excel at both work and play. Called the ‘best little pal in the world’ by the British Cairn Terrier club,it is also a house pet easy to train and easy to care for.

My Cairn Terrier, Hugo, is nine now, & he is the light of my life. He follows me everywhere & sleeps on our bed. He talks to tell us what he wants. ❤️❤️
Our little girl, Lizzie, passed away at 15. She was family. A loving dog who always wanted to please. So much personality in such a small body. We loved her so.
In memory of my Cairn Terriers: Butch, Shasta, Aristotle, Toto, and Lancelot.
I have one now called toto.
My cairn terrier passed away a year ago but I still have a habit of calling her name when I get home from school, she was a blessing to me and my family. Such obedient and friendly dogs, we don’t deserve such loving animals
Oh but we do deserve them. I just wish everyone treated them like the precious little ones they are
How old was she???
I love my Cairn Terrier
My parents had a Cairn Terrier. Unfortunately, he was a puppy mill dog. Even with all his issues, and there were MANY, he was the happiest little dog you would ever meet 🐕
My Cairn was the most unique dog I’ve ever known, I’ll miss him for the rest of my life . There’s something so special about a cairn
Mine was a mix, I'm pretty sure and I never got a chance to figure out what he was. He was hit by a car and passed away 2 days ago, sadly. He had 9 amazing years. When I found the Cairn Terrier breed online, the traits that made him special and amazing lined up exactly with a Cairn. Whatever he was mixed with, the Cairn Terrier genes must have been too strong. RIP Buster.
This speaks to me very deeply. My feelings exactly.
Miss her so much I really agree with you lost her at 8 no age for breed all my family loved here, such character
They are nothing like any other breed. Once you've had one, you never choose another breed again
Ours was a mix.. A very energetic and affectionate dog.. I missed him too.. He passed away last week.. :(
My Fat Tony made it to 16 1/2 years old. Miss him every day
My girlfriends cairn terrier chose me the first second I stepped in her house. He was like probably a few months old . It’s weird but he’s the first ever dog I ever have gotten along with and love with all my heart. I’m a cat person ride and die but this is the first dog to ever choose me as his soul owner
My Cairn, Buddy, will be 15 in June. He is the best dog I have ever known, and I love me some doggos. I will forever love my Buddy, to me he is perfection. I love Cairn Terriers!
Is he still around?💚
"a cairn terrier.." * shows pictures of westies, yorkshires... *
I miss my little buddy, Gibson. He was one of the best and loyal dogs I have ever had. Even in his last days, he never once complained about what he was going through. Always trying to keep the peace. Rest In Peace my love 😍 💕❤️💔
Gibson RIP
Love my boy Finn! Absolutely fantastic companion dog!!
Great name!!
I lost My Best Friend Wiley...a month ago my heart is broken..until we meet again Mommy loves you...
Given any opportunity, they are quite the little hunters. So far my little girl has got snakes, squirrels, mice a bat and brings song birds into my husband.
Toto was on The Wizard of Oz
My Kingsley is the only dog I've ever had and he's my best buddy. He has such a big personality and is very smart, he reminds me of a two year old!
I say that often about my dog. Like a toddler
I have a Cairn terrier! Her name is Dori and she is the sweetest dog in the world! She is energetic, feisty, and a real sweetheart! She is only 2 and she is my baby.
3109C … so is my Bonnie at 18 month. Did you let Dori been castrated? Did she make a change in any way?
@@rena388 Uhhh what? What a bizarre comment. What is your point
3109C sorry, wrong word? i looked it up: canonization is the word. i wanted to know if she did make any change in heart? mine had been hot now for three times and i think about it because heat lasts more than 3weeks . but i am afraid she might not be the same energetic funny dog afterwards
Great video! Our 13 year old Skye Terrier passed away a couple days ago. We loved Dolly. Didn't know Cairns were from the Isle of Skye. I think I have my heart set on the Cairn. Thanks!
WISE
We got one today
Best dog I ever had, I have 2 right now... love em.
I like this dog
I currently have one of these dogs and he’s my best boy
A Cairn Terrier is my Patronus actually.
Toto its iconic
I had one Tilly a absolutely wonderful dog! So funny
I have a Cain terrier his name is Barkly he has learnt over 8 tricks and is only 3 on the 23rd feb years old. I can't imagine life without him. One like to make him learn more tricks!
Of course C, Toto, in the character was a dog, but actually was a Cairn girl.😊 👍
Cairns won't ever start a fight with another dog, but it will finish the fight, I have had Cairns in my life constantly since I was 5 yrs old, that's over 50 yrs!
Hazel Simmons my carin always started fights and now she’s dead mainly because of how aggressive she was ):
My little black Cairin, Candi, was my 1st dog. I was 9. She was my best friend
Looks just like my cairn mix at 2:22
Can you do the rat terrier? Love the videos
what question waa that???? EVERYBODY KNOWS TOTO!! 🥰🥰🥰
There was also one Westie in the pictures. The white one.
@NI W to quote the UK breed standard on acceptable colours for a Cairn... "not solid Black or White". Closely related yes, but read the history of the breeds and it is very interesting.
I think the answer is option C.
My sweet Memole is an hearthquacke
My Giorgi is a few pounds over the 14 lbs. He's so spoiled.
Hehe, so is my Noodle. But I find his slight chubbiness adorable.
my Kingsley is 29 pounds but he isn't overweight at all, he's just very large. He's also 100% cairn so I know he isn't mixed with a larger dog or anything
I'm pretty sure the trivia answer is b.
It was Toto in wizard of Oz
My cairn terrier sleeps just about all day and acts like he’s a lap dog he thinks he constantly has to sit with my mom
Well his name is Terry but he changed his name to toto because of the success of the wizard of Oz and he died in 1945 yes I love the movie

Scotch is a drink, not how you describe someone who comes from Scotland, :-)
A Cairn is the home. Not an addition.
Never met a Cairn that liked children...
Wow - I had a female named Bonnie as a teen and as an adult I had a male named Dougal; they both loved kids, but I would not recommend them unsupervised around squeezing, grabbing babies.
Lol I've never met 1 that didn't like children and we bred/trained many for years. Most of those we trained were bred by other as we didn't bred our dogs much so got to meet dozens over time. Maybe the 1s you're known weren't socialized with children correctly or were exposed to tons of brat kids who weren't taught right by their parents on how to behave around dogs
@@lel7841 I guess so 🤷🏼♂️
I'm guessing the Wizard of Oz character is Zeke
