Cairn Terrier (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

A small, hardy working terrier of the Scottish Highlands, the Cairn was bred to bolt fox and vermin from the rocky cairns that give it its name. In The Cairn Terrier, Florence M. Ross sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.

First published in 1925, Florence M. Ross's account sets the Cairn Terrier's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.

Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Cairn Terrier owners, breeders and breed historians.

This edition features:

• Traces the origins and history of the Cairn Terrier.
• Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
• Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
• Restored from the original text and illustrations.
