Cairn Terrier

When most people hear the word cairn 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 can be possessive of their food and toys. And being respectable terriers, they are enthusiastic diggers and barkers.

Cairn Terrier

That of an active, game, hardy, small working terrier of the short-legged class; very free in its movements, strongly but not heavily built, standing well forward on its forelegs, deep in the ribs, well coupled with strong hindquarters and presenting a well-proportioned build with a medium length of back, having a hard, weather-resisting coat; head shorter and wider than any other terrier and well furnished with hair giving a general foxy expression.
