Cairn Terrier

So, Felix, where am I chatting with you from?

I am in the second floor of my house, and we might hear a very aggressive Karen Terrier, who's not happy that I locked the door to have this conversation with you.

So if we get some additional extra soundtrack effects, it's my lovely dog, Bailey.

Okay.

so dozens of canine braces and prosthetics lined the wall of the Tucson Center's training room, each custom-made to fit its wearer.

One was designed for a St. Bernard battling bone cancer, while one was for a very small Cairn Terrier.

Titus pointing to another device said, this one is a knee brace made for probably one of the biggest mastiffs I've ever seen.

The dog was 187 pounds.

Um, Jim Henson made.

And so he- I always used to joke that he was, you know, part Cairn Terrier, part Westie, part, um, y- Yorkshire, part Wookiee.

So one year I was Princess Leia and Boogie was Chewbacca, and let me tell you, let me tell you, I took him for a walk [laughs] with me in my Leia costume, and I made, I took a belt, and then I made this little pouch that, you know, to be that little pouch that was slung across that Chewbacca always had.

We never knew what was inside the pouch, but I-

Didn't you, uh, just adopt one? I did.

I adopted a Cairn Terrier named Charlotte- Cute ... who's got a lot of problems.

Oh.

She's just, she's been abused, and of course, I always, I've always done this.

Otto digs up the whole argument.

Otto, a cairn terrier of this town, practices what chapter one of his book calls the archaeology of everything.

The doctrine that every garden is an archive and every archive is, with effort, open.

His current dig is behind the shed, where the soil is honest, and his finds to date include one buried bone, his own, reburied with ceremony, one lost glove, not his household's, and the remains of an argument from last summer, which he dug up, examined, and, the desk notes carefully, left exactly where it lay.

Edward Donald Malcolm, sixteenth Laird of Poltalloch, is credited with the creation of the modern breed from his Poltalloch terrier, but did not want to be known as such.

The Westie is a cousin of the Cairn terrier and is related to other breeds such as the Rosenith terrier, bred by George Campbell, eighth Duke of Argyll, Ampithamquim terrier, bred by Amrik Edwin Flaxman.

The Westie was given its modern name for the first time in nineteen oh eight, with recognition by major kennel clubs occurring around the same time.

The breed remains very popular in the United Kingdom, with multiple wins at Crufts, and has been in the top third of all breeds in the United States since the nineteen sixties.

The king ordered that a dozen of these white terriers be procured from Argyll to be presented to the Kingdom of France as a gift.

Sandy and brindle-colored dogs were seen as hardier than those of other colors, and white dogs were seen as being weak.

At various times during the breed's existence, it has been considered a white offshoot of both the Scottish Terrier and the Cairn Terrier breeds.

Reports of a ship from the Spanish Armada being wrecked on the island of Skye in 1588 indicated the ship carried white Spanish dogs, whose descendants were kept distinct from other breeds by Clan Donald, including the families of the chiefs.

And why somebody would dump this beautiful animal is just beyond me.

It must be Karen Terrier month at Animal Services.

We have a lot of them.

You have a lot of Karen Ter-

He was in third or fourth grade, and Sam, our other son, was in first, and we got a puppy.

And she was a little Karen Terrier.

She was an absolute just ball of energy.

She looked exactly like Toto from The Wizard of Oz.

Obviously, we left with a dog.

He was a little Cairn Terrier, like Toto.

I hope I'm saying that right.

Not Toto.

The other part.

Cairn Terrier.

I hope Toto is yeah I hope that's right and his name was Duncan Duncan lived until he was almost 16 and when we had to put him down our family was devastated we were all heartbroken but little did we know Duncan would be back you know what my stepmom had a corgi named Duncan who also was a ghost dog who would like show up at our house sometimes like things
