What color are Cairns?
Cairns come in a variety of colors, ranging from cream to wheaten (straw colored), red, gold, and shades of grey, to almost solid black. Their coat can be almost a single solid color, such as solid wheaten, or it can have a “brindle” coat (multiple colors in the coat, but not spotted). White is not a Cairn color. A “white Cairn” is most likely a West Highland White Terrier, commonly known as a Westie. All Cairns are attractive, and no color holds special mention. You will love your Cairn whatever the color. A Cairn coat is typically a double coat, with a soft undercoat and a harsh outer coat. You should also be aware that Cairns MAY change color, often several times during their life.
