rob.i 26 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I doubt if there are any left. I own a cairn but he aint no worker he shows some hunting instinct but I doubt if he could be an earth dog maybe some people use em for bushing obviously there are better terriers for the work the knack has probably been bred out by the KC just my opinion Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 What do you want it for? eg. bushing/ratting/earthwork, I think you would be better off with something that is off a line of working stuff for what ever task you have in mind, Atb T 7 Quote Link to post

Wondered if there were still some working lines in Scotland. Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 A local terrierman used to work a couple when I was a kid, but that was just over 20 years ago, haven't seen any since. Quote Link to post
