I honestly do not believe a cairn terrier is a dog, I actually believe they should have there own type of "name" like

I just call fonzy a "cairn" not even the word "dog" why? because he doesn't act like a dog, he act's like a Cairn... Huge difference, he does things that no other dog (I've known) do, it's insane. Anyone else feel like this?

Fonzy is more hyper then any other "dog" i know.. he does wild things that no other dog i've ever seen do, (hiding underneath the chair and poking his head out ontop of the dinner table) to get and SOMETIMES EVEN lick the table, and sit there and big and THEN While he's all doing that, he STANDS up on his 2 back legs and moves his paws forward "GIVE GIVE" While that is happening his big PETER cotton Tail is wagging back and forth. And then his 2 big huge ears just show and it looks just amazing, the CUTEST THING EVER. No other dog has these values in my honest opinon.

So weird question but I think my fonzy is not a dog he is his own name, a CAIRN!!!! <333333333333333333333333333333333333

Ditto to all above. Malcolm is like no other dog I've had. Newman is right about that wagging tail. Want to solve the energy crisis? Build a small wind turbine generator about the height of a Cairn tail. Place behind a Cairn. You will get all the energy you need.
