Hi Laura, thanks for stopping by. Cairns are tough little dogs, aren’t they? Thanks for sharing about Ty and Redd.

My Cairn is affectionate, but only when HE wants to be. He stays an arm’s length away until he deems it time to curl up on a lap.

Also, his best friend is my brother’s Doberman. They love to wrestle, and we honestly never know who’ll win the match until one has the other pinned down. That’s right, my 14 pound Cairn can actually take down the 60 something pound Doberman.

It’s funny how they’ve learned from each other. Redd (Doberman) has acquired some of Ty’s (Cairn) habits. Ty has learned to use his front legs more. Unfortunately, this includes pulling the covers back in the morning and pawing at my head when he wants to go outside….

Because Cairn terriers are both intelligent and playful they can be taught a variety of doggie games. They can easily make it to show dog championships for the same reason…. Of course you need a lot of patience to train them though….

I used to house/pet sit for a friend of mine that had a Cairn, a Norwich and a Rottie. I adored her Cairn! In fact, he is the reason (don’t laugh), that I now have Penny. She was the cutest scruffy faced pup and she reminded me of him, so I couldn’t resist. Needless to say…there is no resemblance to a Cairn terrier in Penny now! LOL Oh well.

Ace looks like he would rather be in the company of dogs that look more macho than these little guys.

I absolutely LOVE that picture of Ace with the “terrors” – lol

Certainly not a breed for me, but they are cute.
