Advantages: Compact & Bijou

Disadvantages: Not much cop as a guard dog

I think a dog makes a wonderful pet
And the dog I've got at the moment
Is the best one yet
He comes to my heel
Whenever I shout
And he doesn't moan
And he doesn't pout
He'll fetch a ball
No matter how often I throw,
He'll follow on his lead
Wherever I go
He's a true companion
Honest and True
I have a dog, why don't you?

I've had pet dogs all my life,
Longer than my car
Longer than my wife
They don't get flat tires
They never nag
They don't need their shoes to match their bag

Yes, sometimes they snarl
And occasionally bite
But usually only if they've had a fright.
They'll walk beside you
And for you they will fight,
They don't care if you watch football
Night after night

But the reason I recommend getting one
Black, red, grey or white
Is they never pass judgement
If you're poetry's sh....not right.

Daft poetry aside I have to recommend cairns. When I was growing up our family had a lovely Cairn called Niko, a gentle dog who put up with all kinds of grief from a pair of toddlers & a true friend as we grew up & he got old. It was a sad day when he died from Cancer.

I may be biased because a Cairn was my first pet but I truly believe that they make excellent pets, small & calm with kids, a happy looking breed, not yappy like a lot of other terriers and a pleasure to walk.

Summary: Sorry for the poetry
