Teeth, Nose, Ears and Eyes

TEETH: Large-mouth neither overshot nor undershot.

NOSE: Black.

EYES: Set wide apart, rather sunken, with shaggy eyeborw, medium in size, hazel or dark hazel in color, depending on body color, with a keen terrier expression.
EARS: Small, pointed, well carried erectly, set wide apart on the side of the head. Free from long hairs.

CLARIFICATION:
Large, strong teeth are important. There should be 6 incisors upper and lower.

The bite either level or scissors-not overshot or undershot (see above).

The nose black only. the preferred eye color should be dark hazel (not black), medium in size, oval in shape and wide set, giving a "devilish" look to the Cairn.

Ears small, wide set, properly placed on the sides of the head but carried upright are correct.
