Hawkeye Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Cairn ATTITUDE at it's finest. Great video...thanks for posting it.
Dempsy's Mom Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Poop. For some reason I can't get into the video. Elsie, Max, Meeko & Lori
remltr Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Poop. For some reason I can't get into the video. I was able to view on my Mac laptop using Firefox when I made the original post, but not on my Mac desktop using Firefox. I then switched to Safari and was able to view it no problem. Weird! Don't know if it is a CBS thing, an Apple Mac thing or a Firefox thing. Maybe try a different browser. Sassy Jan 22, 2005 AM. CH. THARRBARR LITE MY FIRE ZOMERHOF
Lynn in TN Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I love Cairns don't you? I loved this video, so sweet!
josie&holly Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I am another using Firefox and cannot get into the video www.cairnterriertalk.co.uk
Lynn in TN Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I got into it fine but I use Google Chrome,you might need to update your "Flash Player" or your "Flash Player Plugin" on Firefox. My 14 year old typed that, but he got an award this year in middle school for fixing some of their computers,hardware and software problems, so he might be right.
percy's_girl Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 I saw this on Sunday and tried to find the video to post. I love his tough cairn attitude. Percy is so jealous he gets to roam the streets of Paris and she's stuck in the house all day!
oscar's mom Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 That was a great video. Have you noticed how everyone but Americans trust their dogs to go off and do their own thing?
pkcrossley Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 i don't think he's a cairn, i think he is a glen of imaal, but his attitude is quite cairn, obviously
TazTalk Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 What a little character! A cute little beret would complete the look and attitude. I want to hang out in that cafe

Idaho Cairns Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Just exactly what one would expect of a Cairn in that environment! Most adaptable dogs on earth these Cairns. Great video.
hheldorfer Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I thoroughly enjoyed the video. What an independent little cuss, and quite handsome.
pkcrossley Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 i do just love the video. i get that the proprietor thinks that orson the rescue dog is a cairn. but my money is on glen of imaal anyway. i would also bet that these are the two breeds most often mistaken for each other --more than cairns and norwichs. we look at orson, we see a cairn. but if this were a glen of imaal site, i bet they would see g of i. or maybe he's a cross. but either way, orson is the coolest.

I looked up some pics of the Glen and the ears are all folding forward not sticking up like a Cairn. What way can we tell which dog it is. Just courious... now I am looking over my Jeff. My Oscar is a Cairn true to form in my opinion, but Jeff has some wiggle room I think..lol I became a dog person AFTER I got my dog.
bradl Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I don't see a glen in him at all, although my sample size is admittedly small. There are two glens I've met while walking downtown occasionally, and I've seen one or two at earthdog tests, a few at shows. Bigger, heavier, somewhat basset-looking, more pronounced bowing in the legs, half-drop ears, docked tails, etc. Agree that he's a charmer no matter what union he belongs to CAIRNTALK: Questions?

pkcrossley Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 he looks a bit big and long to me for a cairn, and the set of his rear end is almost dead-on for a glen of imaal. the pictures i see of glen of imaal on the web almost all show the ears folded, but a breeder lives in my town and we are relatively well-stocked up with wheaten glens of imaal with standy-up ears (the corn-silk model, like some cairns). their faces are very cairn-like, eyes are dead-on cairn, but they have no muzzle masks or contrasting ears. this guy looks just like the g of i's whom the breeder here walks all over town, and another household of g of i owners who moved here without knowing about the breeder have the same model glen of imaal. orson doesn't at all resemble the "sample" photos of glen of imaal on the web, but he looks like these guys who are all over town here, all registered glens. of course, orson could just be a big chunky cairn with no mask and self-colored ears. or he could be a glen. or both.
Jeff N Oscar Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I see contrasting ears in the video. I think it's just that he's not groomed and that is hiding his mask? IDK I know it's not a huge deal, but I like to understand and like I commented, he looks like my Jeff so it has me wondering how do I know for sure what Jeff is. Thanks for responding I became a dog person AFTER I got my dog.
pkcrossley Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 oh, i didn't notice the contrasting ears. and yes, orson is cruising for a grooming. glens of imaal are actually pretty rare in the US, more common in europe. i'd be surprised if jeff had any glen of imaal, i mean that nobody had told you about. it's strange that cairns and glens of imaal are frequently mixed up (which isn't easy to understand if you only look at the pictures on some internet sites), because they really are not closely related. glens are from ireland, and a very distinct ancestry. of course, norwichs and cairns are also not closely related, but they are often mixed up. cairns and airedales, on the other hand, are rather closely related, and nobody would mix them up. i think terriers with soft wheaten coats all resemble each other pretty strongly. but when i see orson's rump... it looks glenny (ours don't have docked tails), that's all i can tell you.
cairnrescueleague Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 The French are so civilized. And my vote is for cairn. The European standard is bigger than the American. And I think a "street dog" rather than a show dog.
Jeff N Oscar Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 some still photos of Orson the Cairn of Immal..lol or the Glen of Cairn IDK http://www.parisatacertainage.com/madametut/paris_dog_of_the_day/ I became a dog person AFTER I got my dog.
