Cairn Terrier ancestors are from Scotland, where the wire coat repels water and keeps the dog dry even in rainy or damp climates. Keeping the Cairn Terrier coat in its original state will prevent possible skin irritations. As dead hair is removed by stripping the coat, new growth comes in and the skin and coat will remain healthy. Clipper-cutting a Cairn might destroy the protective wire coat unique to this breed.It is wise to have a pet examined to rule out heritable skin diseases if a Cairn is obtained from unknown sources (i.e. pet stores, rescues, or puppy mills).This puppy Weight is 10-16 pounds (4.5-6.8 kg) and Height is 9–13 inches (23–33 cm).These dogs are generally healthy and live on average about Life span is 12–17 years and Litter size is 2-10.To see more pics.....
