About Cairn Terriers
The Cairn Terrier's coat is longish and harsh, with a soft, dense undercoat that protected them from the cold, wet, Scottish weather. Some people do a little trimming around the eyes.
They have a round head, short legs, and small, pointed ears. Their coat can be black, cream, wheaten, red, sandy, gray, or brindled, and may change colour throughout their lifetime. They need regular grooming, exercise, and training to keep them healthy and happy.
They are similar in temperament to the Scottish Terrier and other small Scottish breeds, eg West Highland White Terrier, and Skye Terrier. The three breeds may originate from a common source. Through selective breeding, breeders have produced distinctive breeds.

Cairn terriers are courageous dogs. Let's be fearless like a Cairn! The Bible says, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8 verse 31. (Assuming we are for God, of course! We can't expect God to be for us, if we are not for him!)
