This smart terrier is today one of the most popular of all the terrier
varieties. The head is fairly capacious for his size, ears are small and
carried erect, eye small, dark and of the peculiar keen “cairn”
expression not found in any other breed; well sprung in ribs, abundance
of bone and straight fore legs. The coat should be harsh and as dense as
possible.
