Do you mean you are thinking about possibly getting one? or is it a done
deal? Cairn terriers can be nice little dogs - IF they match your
personality. If not, it can be not so much fun.

they eat? do they need that much exersise?

They need a moderate amount of exercise. They are active dogs and need
the opportunity to be active. Plan on spending one hour a day, MINIMUM,
in some activity with the dog.

are they easy to train?

No.

please tell me some genral information about them

If you are paying money to a breeder then do your part in helping dogs get
healthier - don't pay breeders who don't know about genetic health
screening. Look for a breeder who knows about the problems common to the
breed http://www.cairnterrier.org/health/ AND screens breeding stock AND
registers the results with a central health registry.

If you are paying money to a breeder make sure to meet the dam (mother)
and try hard to meet at least a few other dogs of the same lineage so you
can get at least some indication of temperament risks.

Maybe - there is variation in everything. Or maybe what you wwanted was
within the scope of what the dog was willing to give. Same dog, a
different person with different standards or goals might have a different
perspective. It sounds like you were a good match which is the important
part.

These are all questions that any responsible breeder of Cairn terriers can
answer much better than random strangers on the internet. Since you
certainly would want to get your puppy from a responsible breeder, you
should have no problems getting all the information you seek.
