How much exercise do Cairn Terriers need?
Cairns are a hardy breed, and most do well with a moderate amount of exercise. Most cairns are just as happy living in an apartment with 4 walks a day as they would be on a farm. In addition to playing ball, walking is a good form of exercise for a cairn. Healthy cairns can tolerate walks of up to 1-2 miles. However, because they have short legs, jogging is not appropriate for a cairn.
