History

is an endearing, lively little meme. Its history can be traced back 500 years, originating from the Isle of Skye and other highland dog breeds, such as the White Terrier, belong to the same ancestor. In addition to hunting for food, Caian Terriers are usually used to hunt rabbits, moles, otters, etc. The breed was officially established by the Kennell Kennel Club in 1912. At that time, many breeders bred this dog with the West Highland White Terrier, and improved the dark breed with West Highland White Terrier blood, which was registered as the Kaian Terrier. Therefore, in 1924, the Kennell Club of England refused to register the offspring of crosses in order to separate the two breeds.
