Cairn Terrier -  This fearless little dog is a descendant of the working terriers which inhabited the Islands and Highlands of Scotland.

It retains much of the characteristics of the older breeds and is conceivable that the Cairn Terrier and West Highland White Terrier were originally one and the same dog.

Recognised by the Kennel Club in 1910.
