Little Bear is a Cairn terrier, one of the oldest terrier breeds originating in the Scottish Highlands, and one of the earliest working dogs. The breed was given the name Cairn, because its function was to hunt and chase quarry between the cairns in the highlands. Little Bear is about 14 inches tall and weights about 14 pounds. He was born in Oldsmar in November 1999, which makes him one of the older dogs at more than 19 years of age. Cairn terriers are generally healthy and live on average 12 to 17 years. Little Bear loves to ride in the car, go to the dog park, check out the girls, dig holes and chase anything that runs. He does not like it when he doesn’t get his way, and marches to a different drummer. Little Bear loves his two best friends, William and Joyce Fields, of Land O’ Lakes.
