Cairns are also very photogenic. You often see photographs of them used on dog calendars, t-shirts, commercial product packaging, greeting carts, coffee mugs, etc. Their image tends to represent the all around fun and cute dog.

When I purchased by first Cairn Terrier puppy I was surprised to learn that even though people had such fantastic dog-loving reactions to my new puppy, most of them have never heard of a Cairn Terrier. Cairn in pronounced different ways by different people too, so even if the person had known of the breed, I might not be pronouncing it the same as they are familiar.

Cairns are loveable little dogs. They are part of the terrier family and have a unique, sassy personality all their own. Some folks might refer to a terrier as stubborn. I like to call it genuine spunk that gives them a unique personality. That's what makes them so interesting. Even though all dogs have personalities, the terrier family is known for their spunk and fun loving attitude. They like to hunt rodents of any kind and are known to seek their way out of any type of confinement.

Hey can you really blame them? All dogs just want to have fun!
