Cairn Terrier Breed Standards
I won't go into too much detailed information about all of the Cairn Terrier breed standards. For that information, I'll direct you to the officials in that area, the AKC (American Kennel Club). But I will tell you a few things that you should know from an ordinary pet owner's perspective especially when you are at that stage of deciding whether a Cairn is for you and what to expect as it gets older.
Adult Height: 9 to 13 inches (22-23 cm) at the withers.
Adult Weight: 13 to 18 pounds ( 6-8 kg)
Acceptable Coat Colors: crème, light brindle, wheaten, medium brindle, red, rich red, red brindle, dark red brindle, grey, grey brindle, dark brindle
Not* Accepted Coats: white, black, black/tan, spotted (*Of course, if you are a pet owner, you are adopting or buying your pet to love them no matter what color they are! Just be aware of the standards.)
Cairn Terriers will change color, so don't expect your new pup to be the same color years down the road!
See my related article, "Cairn Terrier Coat Colors" which includes a color chart guide.
