Rasstandaard

De rasstandaard is een beschrijving hoe het ras er moet uitzien. Gezien onze Cairn Terrier een ras is afkomstig van Groot-Brittanië en de officiële talen gebruikt door de Fédération Cynologique Internationale (www.FCI.be) Engels, Frans, Spaans en Duits zijn heb ik gekozen om de rasstandaard in het Engels te vermelden.
