Official Standard of the Cairn Terrier  AKC

The Cairn Terrier is an active, game, hardy, small working terrier of the short-legged
class; very free in its movements, strongly but not heavily built, standing well forward on its
forelegs, deep in the ribs, well coupled with strong hindquarters and presenting a wellproportioned build with a medium length of back, having a hard, weather-resisting coat; head
shorter and wider than any other terrier and well furnished with hair giving a general foxy
expression.
Head:
Skull – Broad in proportion to length with a decided stop and well furnished with hair on
the top of the head, which may be somewhat softer than the body coat. Muzzle – Strong but not
too long or heavy. Teeth-Large, mouth neither overshot nor undershot. Nose – Black. Eyes – Set
wide apart, rather sunken, with shaggy eyebrows, medium in size, hazel or dark hazel in color,
depending on body color, with a keen terrier expression. Ears – Small, pointed, well carried
erectly, set wide apart on the side of the head. Free from long hairs.
Tail:
In proportion to head, well furnished with hair but not feathery. Carried gaily but must not
curl over back. Set on at back level.
Body:
Well-muscled, strong, active body with well-sprung, deep ribs, coupled to strong
hindquarters, with a level back of medium length, giving an impression of strength and activity
without heaviness.
Shoulders, Legs and Feet:
A sloping shoulder, medium length of leg, good but not too heavy
bone; forelegs should not be out at elbows, and be perfectly straight, but forefeet may be slightly
turned out. Forefeet larger than hind feet. Legs must be covered with hard hair. Pads should be
thick and strong and dog should stand well up on its feet.
Coat:
Hard and weather-resistant. Must be double-coated with profuse harsh outer coat and
short, soft, close furry undercoat.
Color:
May be of any color except white. Dark ears, muzzle and tail tip are desirable.
Ideal Size: Involves the weight, the height at the withers and the length of body. Weight for
bitches, 13 pounds; for dogs, 14 pounds. Height at the withers – bitches, 9½ inches; dogs, 10
inches. Length of body from 14¼ to 15 inches from the front of the chest to back of hindquarters.
The dog must be of balanced proportions and appear neither leggy nor too low to ground; and
neither too short nor too long in body. Weight and measurements are for matured dogs at two
years of age. Older dogs may weigh slightly in excess and growing dogs may be under these
weights and measurements.
Condition:
Dogs should be shown in good hard flesh, well muscled and neither too fat or thin.
Should be in full good coat with plenty of head furnishings, be clean, combed, brushed and tidied
up on ears, tail, feet and general outline. Should move freely and easily on a loose lead, should
not cringe on being handled, should stand up on their toes and show with marked terrier
characteristics.
