Even if a breed very loved and popular in the United States, most Americans do not know where to come Cairn Terrier. The first clue is in their name. A cairn "is a mound of rocks or stones, usually stacked in a cone shape, which were used as landmarks or monuments in Scottish Highlands, from which the Cairn Terrier originated. Cairn Terriers were originally selected for hunting and prey flushing, vermin or game hiding in burrows under these cairns.

The Cairn Terrier Scottish Highlands, has everything to do with appearance, temperament, and abilities of the dog. The Cairn Terrier was developed in a very specific purpose. Their coat, for example, has a thick undercoat for extra warmth and water relatively topcoat evidence. This helps balance the burrow to survive thanks to the variable and often harsh temperatures and weather in the Scottish Highlands.

Cairn size is another factor intentionally bred into the dog. Farmers in the Scottish Highlands had need a tiny dog just follow the vermin and other pests in burrows, aggressive enough to stand up to his prey, and stubborn enough to finish work independently of the fight against the game could develop. Cairn Terrier excel in all these areas because of the careful and selective breeding that has chaired the development of the race.

The Cairn race reached a lot of popularity because of its usefulness in the Scottish Highlands. More to be able to eradicate the pest that destroys crops or livestock killed precious, the cairn terrier left to itself could even bring home small game which have been adapted for eating.

Cairns were bred from stock Scottish Terrier which produces other familiar races like the similar looking West Highland White Terrier and the infamous Scottish Terrier or "Scottie". At the turn of the century All these dogs were grouped, but after a little over a decade, the American Kennel Club and the Kennel Club of Great Britain both recognized Cairn Terrier as its own breed with specific standards.

The American Kennel Club standards for the Cairn Terrier has been rectified and solidified last in the late 1930s. The AKC sets a minimum weight of fourteen pounds for males and thirteen books for women, although a healthy, non-performing weight can be anywhere between twelve to eighteen pounds. The height of the Cairn Terrier is also unique compared to AKC standards (with a shoulder height nine inches for girls and ten inches for males), but a shoulder height of anywhere between eight and thirteen inches is acceptable to no-show health standards. In the hyperactivity of this breed and love for food, there may be extreme weight fluctuations in both directions that are unhealthy. It is preferable to monitor the weight of your Cairn Terrier and be sure to exercise more if they get a little Porky or feed them a little more if they are looking thin!

Although the Cairn Terrier is rarely used for its original purpose as a hunting dog now, their instincts and origin we are distinguished by their exuberant personalities soon.
