we are cairn ppl here.....our first dog, barney, was a cairn...his only health prob was allergies (but we were deep South AL)....he died at 8, but we think he came from a puppy mill b/c of the probs he was having when he died (and we got him from the mall....but he was a FABULOUS dog)......6 months after he died, my mom couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to a breeder and got another one, oscar. this dog makes me cry i laugh so hard. cairns really are the best dogs, IMHO. they are small dogs, funny dogs, loyal, and loving......great pets.
my sister has a jack russell, and he's also fabulous, but likes to play fetch waaaaaay too much!
