I've had dogs my whole life, different sizes and breeds. Once I got a Cairn, I know I'll never get another breed ever again. They have everything a person could ask for in a companion. They're gentle, fun, sweet with kids and other dogs, very easily trained and little or no health problems! What a dog!
