Cairoston Dog Breed
The Cairoston is a small- to medium-sized hybrid mix of a Cairn Terrier and a Boston Terrier. These dogs are intelligent, alert animals with an undemanding temperament. Though they're friendly with kids and other animals, they can be shy and passive. Cairostons are easily trained and make good watchdogs, and they don't require much care.
Cairoston Breed Description
Cairostons are a small- to medium-sized breed. Height at the shoulders is typically 13-16 inches, and weight is 10-25 pounds.
This breed is intelligent, gentle, alert, and loyal. Cairostons are family-friendly, but many have somewhat "passive" personalities; they prefer not being the center of attention, and will often keep to themselves. They're social with, but not overly affectionate towards, kids and other pets, and are usually aloof towards strangers. These dogs are fast learners, and despite their small size, they will be good watchdogs because of their attentiveness and curiosity.
Cairostons are low-maintenance animals. Their short, dense coats will only need occasional brushing and bathing, and they need little training. Exercise needs are moderate; an hour of outdoor playtime or a long daily walk should be adequate.
Life expectancy for this breed is 12-15 years. The coat colors can include black, gray, red, white, and black and tan.
