    Cairn Terriers - anyone else own these fearless little dogs?

    Does anyone else own these fearless little dogs?...I have two who keep me on my toes....I like to think I have them trained to a high standard in obedience, but there's always that odd occasion when they pretend they're deaf and ignore my commands...this is usually if they catch sight of a squirrel. One of my dogs has been known to run up a tree after a squirrel and I've had to persuade her to jump down so that I can catch her, as she's too scared to come back down of her own accord..:roll:

    They look fab. I love the darker colour. Do they take a lot of grooming? :grin:

    He's lovely Tori:grin:

    In answer to your question Looby-loo...no they don't take a lot of grooming because they don't moult (at least mine don't)...they do have to be stripped about every six months though to keep their coats in pristine condition....I just give them a quick going over with the brush each morning and that's it for the day.

    Here they are again watching my son train one of his horses in the paddock....they get on wonderfully well with all the horses.

    I love cairns. Don't own one but grew up with them. Lovely little dogs who, like many terriers, are a big dog in a small body :)

    Oh and yes, the selective hearing rings some bells ;)

    lovely pics!

    Teal'c they probably would do very well in agility as they are easy to train and very clever.:grin:

    You're right Tori as they're so quick to learn ....My daughter trains her border Collies for Agility Shows and my two Cairns love to do some of the same tricks in my garden- especially the weave poles.
