Cairoston

Your Cairoston hybrid is the result of breeding the Cairn Terrier and the Boston Terrier.  The Cairn Terrier is considered one of the oldest Terrier breeds, being traced back to the 1500’s in the highlands of Scotland.  This breed belongs to a very old line of working Terriers known to inhabit the Isle of Skye, being bred for courage and the bolting of foxes, otters and vermin from a variety of rocks, cliffs and ledges which are found on the wild shores of Scotland.  This breeding equipped them for the harsh weather and working conditions as they dug out their prey for their masters.  The Boston Terrier is believed to be a cross between the white English Terrier and an English Bulldog which goes back to the 1800’s.  The Boston breed was born in an era in which the Bulldog was being utilized in blood sports activities like bull baiting and pit dog fighting, both of which have since been outlawed. These practices were prevalent at that time in Britain and later in the United States, where these skills were immediately recognized as valuable at that time.  It is also believed that, in order to reduce the size of the Boston, a French Bulldog was introduced into the bio gene pool. Both parent breeds make great canine family members and enjoy agility and obedience competitions and many other energetic activities.  The Cairoston hybrid is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club, Dog Registry of America, Inc. and the International Designer Canine Registry.
