the Cairn, like all terriers is a very high energy dog. He must be focused
or will find destructive ways in which to amuse himself. Because of their
stubborn streak, they are not the best choice as a childs companion.
If looking for a Conformation Show dog, this is an excellent choice.
If looking for a Pet/Companion Dog, a fair choice.
If looking for an Obedience Dog, a fair choice.
