I am a newbie!

[EmmeAndCharley]

I am new to this website and just wanted to say hello. I do not have Cairns, however I am joining this website because I have terriers.

I have read quite a few threads in this section today. I, too, have been having some "terrier-related" problems with Charley (my Silky Terrier!). He is so darned aggressive and has been lunging, snarling, growling, & snapping! BRAT!!!

So, bottom line, it was comforting to come here & read that others had similar problems with their dogs. I'm convinced it is a "terrier" thing. I do know the steps needed to correct this behavior... it isn't the first time I've been through this with "Naughty Charley!" I do get advice from the trainer/behaviorist, too.

He is a LOT of work... and as someone said, working with a head-strong, aggressive terrier NEVER ENDS!!!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome, Teresa!!

Charley really does look FULL of the dickens...LOL!!!

I know that look very well as my male Cairn has that exact same expression, "hmmmmm, what can I get into now??"

P.S. Your doggies are adorable !

Hi and welcome...

Yes, Charlie does have that "Cairn" expression that we forum members know so well that says, " I do as I please until I get caught!".

Then they'll have the most adorable/sad faces that makes it hard for us to discipline

Your dogs are beautiful...thanks for the pics.

Welcome to the forum! Your dogs are very cute, and yes, they do look like they can get into lots of trouble! LOL!

Welcome to our great forum! I have 3 full blooded cairns, yet one of mine looks more like an Australian Terrier. Your Charlie looks closer to a cairn than my Abbey. Click on my name and you can view my website from my profile. Emme is adorable, as is Bruno. I could give them both a hug.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone and everydoggie! LOL

I saw your photo, toomanypaws, and your dogs are so sweet! And you are right about Charley looking like a Cairn... when we go to "dog" events people often guess him to be either a Cairn or a Westie. I guess Silky's are kind of rare around Missouri.

Hi Teresa! Welcome!

Your dogs are adorable! Emme looks like a sweetie and Charlie looks like a Cairn!! I'm sure he's as ornery as all of our are! Thanks for sharing your pictures. You can see my babies by clicking on the link below.
