I have never owned one but when I was a child I was not allowed a dog, my auntie had a Cairn Terrier called Sandy and he was my best friend, when we visited all I was interested in was playing with him and taking him out for walks. He was a great little character and I loved him to bits, he was the nearest thing I had to my own dog and I loved him like he was my own, I think they are lovely dogs
I have one gorgeous little boy. He is my first Cairn Terrier and they have such cracking characters, he makes me laugh all the time.
Mine is 16 now and a bit blind, deaf and senile but we love her all the same. Strange how she cant hear you calling her but can hear a packet of biscuits being opened from the bottom of the garden?
lol. Typical terrier! My Irish turns deaf suddenly when called and whistled but get the cheese box out of the fridge and he speeds into the kitchen! I'm looking for a second dog (ours is 3) and want another terrier. Been looking at Cairns and just wondering how Cairn owners have found theirs with other dogs? Also are they happy to be left on their own?
If Cairn are socialised as a puppy they will usually get on well with other dogs, my cairn loves meeting dogs and giving them a sniff but also there is sometimes that he can be really growly at at first and then he's ok. I only have one dog so i dont know what the breed is like at living with other dogs but i have seen cairns living with other breeds and they get on great. Also when leaving on thier own you would need to do this gradually. Harvey is fine left on his own, but i dont leave him for more than 4 hours.
One to consider I think. added to my little list Wouldn't leave a dog for longer than that. Just meant a couple of hours now and then. My list keeps growing. Cairn's look like real characters. They have that look in their eye. lol. x
