About Cairns
The Cairn Terrier is originally from the Highlands of Scotland where it was bred as a working terrier and companion. The Cairn Terrier, unknown in England as a show dog until 1909, is actually one of the oldest breeds in existence. The Cairn Terrier originated in the Western Isles of Scotland, where for centuries he has been used as a working terrier, and was formerly known as he "Short-haired Skye Terrier". Cairns are "hunting dogs," and their quarry mainly consists of animals that have underground lairs. The Cairn's closest relative is probably the West Highland Terrier ("Westies"), which are of the same stock as Cairns but bred to be white in color. Cairns, on the other hand, are bred to be every other color than white.
