Its drooping ears will normally prick up at 3-4 months.These bright, alert dogs make good companions for human children; Toto, of The Wizard of Oz fame, was a cairn terrier.

The cairn terrier is named for the pile of rocks it rooted through to hunt foxes, which lived in burrows beneath them because they could not dig deeply enough in the poor Scottish soil. The breed, long invaluable for protecting cattle, is believed to be the oldest in the Terrier Group and may be the ancestor of the Scottish terriers. King James 1 of Scotland offered one of these dogs to the French royal family.
