Cairn Terrier

Cairn Terrier The Cairn Terrier dog breed appeared around 1800 in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye. Moreover, his hatching is associated with a man named Martin MacLeod. Here it is necessary to point out that 200 years ago in Scotland, literally all the terriers that people knew were classified without many frills - they were all considered just Scottish terriers. All the diversity of breeds appeared much later. In 1873, a new system was introduced and Scottish terriers were divided into two main classes: Skye Terriers and Dandy Dinmont Terriers. And already within each class there were various varieties, which are now considered separate breeds, but then - on the contrary. The Skye Terrier class included the dogs we know today as the Cairn Terrier, as well as Scotch Terrier and West Highland White Terrier. Strictly speaking, there were no differences other than the color of the coat, and all three colors could be found in one litter. Kern terriers, like many other small terriers, were often used to kill parasites, such as rats. It was the field of application, in combination with other characteristics (including color), that began to play a role when dogs ceased to be divided into only two categories and decided to make a wider choice of breeds. This began to happen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1881, a club was established for the above three breeds (Skye Terrier class), and in 1992 the first written official standard was approved. The West Highland White Terrier became a separate breed in 1908, and in 1912 this honor was awarded to the Cairn Terrier. That is, it was in 1912 that it became the core we know today. The name itself comes from the large stone piles that adorned burial places in the mountains. Among these stones, rats often made their shelter, for obvious reasons, and dogs hunted them. In the United States, the breed came in 1913. An interesting fact is that both in the United States and in England, the core and west highland white could interbreed before 1917, however, the American Kennel Club stopped registering puppies obtained from such connections. By the way, in the American film "The Wizard of Oz" the dog Toto was played by a cairn terrier.

The coat is of medium length. Due to the length of the coat, the limbs seem shorter, also, the hair hides the abdominal cavity. The ears are erect, and the muzzle is slightly flattened. The tail is slightly shorter than average, usually pulled upwards. The color is cream, wheat, red, gray, or close to black. Personality The Cairn Terrier is a small, happy dog who undoubtedly enjoys being just that. He enjoys his life in the family and loves his loved ones. This is one of those breeds of dogs that gets their canine happiness from close contact with a person. He needs to know that he is part of the family, and can participate in all family affairs without exception. However, the exception may be sleep - it is better for you to immediately teach the dog to sleep separately, otherwise, you will not get rid of it later. And if you consider that this is a terrier in the full sense of the word, he loves to bark and can do it even at night. Catching the meaning? If he sleeps with you, then healthy sleep and relaxation will become like dreams for you - desirable, but, alas, unattainable. In addition, it has other properties of a real terrier, namely, chasing small animals, including Cats and birds, as well as digging holes. If you live in a private house, going out in the morning with a newspaper and coffee in the garden, look under your feet, as there is a chance to get into one of these holes in the ground. Theoretically, you can try to teach a dog to dig a hole always in one place, or at least in the allotted corner of the garden, but you can not say whether you will succeed or not. The Cairn Terrier has a high level of energy and loves to play pranks, it can play all day long. Of course, the dog also really needs walks, and the longer they are, the better. Active games on the street, training, physical activity - all these are necessary things. If you want to use this breed as a guard, this is not a bad idea, since the dog will be an excellent alarm. Although it will not be able to stop an intruder, you will know in advance about the approach of any stranger. The Cairn Terrier is very convincing and responsible in this regard. In general, they perceive all strangers with restraint, even on a walk. They get along well with children, love to play, and spend time. The Cairn Terrier breed has a remarkable intellect, perfectly understands a person, and recognizes intonations, behavioral hints, and internal states. One of the distinguishing features of these pets is independence and the desire to sometimes do their own thing, however, it is quite possible to work with this. Also, these are very inquisitive dogs who are interested in the world around them, smells, and in general - everything that happens. So on a walk sometimes you need to be careful. Teaching A lively, open, independent character needs to be nurtured and trained in obedience – there is no way without it. But independence and some stubbornness, are not that excessive – simply, sometimes, if you do not pay due attention to education, the dog may simply not obey you, steal a piece of meat, or bark at night without responding to commands. Such behavior, of course, is necessary to get rid of it. To do this, first, you need to put yourself in a leadership position, instilling in the dog that all valuable items, such as toys, food, as well as walks, depend only on you. On the other hand, it is necessary to purposefully and systematically engage in training, as well as to apply commands in everyday life. The training process should be fun, with a sense of humor, and not intrusive. That is, it is better than the animal thinking that you are going for a walk, playing, and generally having fun. If you do not make the classes monotonous, you will succeed. Do not make training approaches long - it is better to have several short ones of 15-20 minutes, and you need to change the tasks and the form of submission. It's like they're different games, with elements of commands. Encouragement, a positive attitude, and patience are your helpers. Care The Cairn Terrier breed needs to comb the coat 1-2 times a week. Eyes should be cleaned daily or as needed, ears 2-3 times a week, and claws are trimmed 3 times a month. Bathe the dog at least 1 time per week or more often. Common diseases These pets, like any other, have a tendency to certain diseases, including: craniomandibular osteopathy; cryptorchidism; globoid cellular leukodystrophy - also known as Krabbe's disease; hypothyroidism - can cause conditions such as epilepsy, alopecia (hair loss), obesity, lethargy, hyperpigmentation, pyoderma, and other skin diseases; Legg-Calvet-Perthes disease; knee dislocation; ocular melanosis / secondary glaucoma - formerly called pigment glaucoma, manifests itself in the Cairn Terrier breed at the age of 7 to 12 years; portosystemic liver shunt.

The tail is slightly shorter than average, usually pulled upwards. The color is cream, wheat, red, gray, or close to black. Personality The Cairn Terrier is a small, happy dog who undoubtedly enjoys being just that. He enjoys his life in the family and loves his loved ones. This is one of those breeds of dogs that gets their canine happiness from close contact with a person. He needs to know that he is part of the family, and can participate in all family affairs without exception. However, the exception may be sleep - it is better for you to immediately teach the dog to sleep separately, otherwise, you will not get rid of it later. And if you consider that this is a terrier in the full sense of the word, he loves to bark and can do it even at night. Catching the meaning? If he sleeps with you, then healthy sleep and relaxation will become like dreams for you - desirable, but, alas, unattainable. In addition, it has other properties of a real terrier, namely, chasing small animals, including Cats and birds, as well as digging holes. If you live in a private house, going out in the morning with a newspaper and coffee in the garden, look under your feet, as there is a chance to get into one of these holes in the ground. Theoretically, you can try to teach a dog to dig a hole always in one place, or at least in the allotted corner of the garden, but you can not say whether you will succeed or not. The Cairn Terrier has a high level of energy and loves to play pranks, it can play all day long. Of course, the dog also really needs walks, and the longer they are, the better. Active games on the street, training, physical activity - all these are necessary things. If you want to use this breed as a guard, this is not a bad idea, since the dog will be an excellent alarm. Although it will not be able to stop an intruder, you will know in advance about the approach of any stranger. The Cairn Terrier is very convincing and responsible in this regard. In general, they perceive all strangers with restraint, even on a walk. They get along well with children, love to play, and spend time. The Cairn Terrier breed has a remarkable intellect, perfectly understands a person, and recognizes intonations, behavioral hints, and internal states. One of the distinguishing features of these pets is independence and the desire to sometimes do their own thing, however, it is quite possible to work with this. Also, these are very inquisitive dogs who are interested in the world around them, smells, and in general - everything that happens. So on a walk sometimes you need to be careful. Teaching A lively, open, independent character needs to be nurtured and trained in obedience – there is no way without it. But independence and some stubbornness, are not that excessive – simply, sometimes, if you do not pay due attention to education, the dog may simply not obey you, steal a piece of meat, or bark at night without responding to commands. Such behavior, of course, is necessary to get rid of it. To do this, first, you need to put yourself in a leadership position, instilling in the dog that all valuable items, such as toys, food, as well as walks, depend only on you. On the other hand, it is necessary to purposefully and systematically engage in training, as well as to apply commands in everyday life. The training process should be fun, with a sense of humor, and not intrusive. That is, it is better than the animal thinking that you are going for a walk, playing, and generally having fun. If you do not make the classes monotonous, you will succeed. Do not make training approaches long - it is better to have several short ones of 15-20 minutes, and you need to change the tasks and the form of submission. It's like they're different games, with elements of commands. Encouragement, a positive attitude, and patience are your helpers. Care The Cairn Terrier breed needs to comb the coat 1-2 times a week. Eyes should be cleaned daily or as needed, ears 2-3 times a week, and claws are trimmed 3 times a month. Bathe the dog at least 1 time per week or more often. Common diseases These pets, like any other, have a tendency to certain diseases, including: craniomandibular osteopathy; cryptorchidism; globoid cellular leukodystrophy - also known as Krabbe's disease; hypothyroidism - can cause conditions such as epilepsy, alopecia (hair loss), obesity, lethargy, hyperpigmentation, pyoderma, and other skin diseases; Legg-Calvet-Perthes disease; knee dislocation; ocular melanosis / secondary glaucoma - formerly called pigment glaucoma, manifests itself in the Cairn Terrier breed at the age of 7 to 12 years; portosystemic liver shunt.

Cairn Terrier The Cairn Terrier dog breed appeared around 1800 in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye. Moreover, his hatching is associated with a man named Martin MacLeod. Here it is necessary to point out that 200 years ago in Scotland, literally all the terriers that people knew were classified without many frills - they were all considered just Scottish terriers. All the diversity of breeds appeared much later. In 1873, a new system was introduced and Scottish terriers were divided into two main classes: Skye Terriers and Dandy Dinmont Terriers. And already within each class there were various varieties, which are now considered separate breeds, but then - on the contrary. The Skye Terrier class included the dogs we know today as the Cairn Terrier, as well as Scotch Terrier and West Highland White Terrier. Strictly speaking, there were no differences other than the color of the coat, and all three colors could be found in one litter. Kern terriers, like many other small terriers, were often used to kill parasites, such as rats. It was the field of application, in combination with other characteristics (including color), that began to play a role when dogs ceased to be divided into only two categories and decided to make a wider choice of breeds. This began to happen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1881, a club was established for the above three breeds (Skye Terrier class), and in 1992 the first written official standard was approved. The West Highland White Terrier became a separate breed in 1908, and in 1912 this honor was awarded to the Cairn Terrier. That is, it was in 1912 that it became the core we know today. The name itself comes from the large stone piles that adorned burial places in the mountains. Among these stones, rats often made their shelter, for obvious reasons, and dogs hunted them. In the United States, the breed came in 1913. An interesting fact is that both in the United States and in England, the core and west highland white could interbreed before 1917, however, the American Kennel Club stopped registering puppies obtained from such connections. By the way, in the American film "The Wizard of Oz" the dog Toto was played by a cairn terrier.
