•   Cairn Terrier Breed Standard General Appearance: That of an active, game, hardy, small working terrier of the short-legged class; very free in its movements, strongly but not heavily built, standing well forward on its forelegs, deep in the ribs, well coupled with strong hindquarters and presenting a well-proportioned build with a medium length of back. •   Cairn Terrier Dog - Breed Information A small working terrier from 13 to 14 pounds and 10 inches in height, but longer than he is tall. The breed's roots are from the old scotch terrier, and it is related to the Dandie Dinmont, Scottish, Skye and West Highland White Terriers. The Cairn is probably the closest to the conformation of their common progenitor than any of the other terriers. •   Cairn Terrier Pictures A collection of photos and pictures of Cairn Terriers.
