Cairn Terrier

The Cairn Terrier, often referred to as the "Little Lion of the Highlands," is a pint-sized powerhouse of personality and charm. With its shaggy, weather-resistant coat and alert expression, the Cairn Terrier embodies the rugged spirit of its Scottish origins. Beneath that tousled exterior lies a fearless and tenacious hunter, originally bred to navigate rocky terrain and hunt burrowing vermin.

PRUE

Prue is a brindle Cairn Terrier and is being hand stripped into a show trim by Chuckie. Prue is 9 months old and already an Australian champion! The tools used today are a stone, rake and detailer.

PART 1 Chuckie starts by stripping some of the undercoat out. This can be a controversial technique, but, each to their own! Chuckie works the whole coat to get the dog ready for a show.

PART 2 Working the neck and chest. Chuckie strips the neck to flow into the topline and shoulder.

PART 3 The head study. Chuckie hand strips the ears (a third to half), she creates a definite stop and follows with a trad head, not like a Westie head!
