Do Cairns need much grooming?
All dogs need a good deal of grooming to keep them comfort- able and clean. Cairns are no exception. Cairns are groomed for the show ring by “stripping” out the long, dead layers of coat. Most pet owners find this to be too time consuming, and prefer to have the coat scissored or clippered to keep their pet neat and attractive. This does change the texture of the coat, which will become softer. It needs to be done about every two months.
