Cairn Terriers, or "Toto Dogs," are friendly little creatures. They love to bark and do not work well in a household where silence is expected; barking is their way of communicating and expressing their joys, sorrows and every emotion between the two.

Cairns love to participate in vigorous activities that require them to use their brains. Give them toys to entertain them when they're alone. Cairns are capable of entertaining themselves, but much prefer human interaction.
