Sinopsis
The active and industrious Cairn Terrier is a charming and sweet companion dog, whose legendary appearance in the Wizard of Oz solidified the breeds celebrity for generations. Breeders today continue to refer to the breed as the Toto dog. As a companion to children, a family watchdog, an accomplished show dog and competition dog, and a verminator around the home, this terrier breed fits into most homes and living situations. The breed is as useful as it is endearing. The Cairn Terrier developed in Scotland alongside his fellow Scotts dogs, the West Highland White Terrier, Scottish Terrier, and Skye Terrier. Author Robert Jamieson retells the origins of the breed and spells out the many characteristics that recommend the Cairn Terrier as an ideal pet for the right family seeking a bright, easy-care companion dog.
