The Cairn Terrier is an intelligent, tenacious, headstrong, and happy dog that can become an integral part of the family. Made famous by Toto in the movie The Wizard of Oz, this dog can be quite a handful, but they will always be small enough to fit in your lap once they are done romping.
Their cheerful disposition, lack of fear, and active personality come from centuries of working in Scotland, where they worked to chase small animals, most notably foxes. This means they require a firm, consistent approach to training and applying the rules.
