I think that a Cairn Terrier is perfect for my family, but life span is a consideration. Does anybody know how long they live?

I found this simply by searching Google:
"Average Life Span
The average life span of a Cairn is 12-15 years, with some living on to 18-20 years. Like humans, puppies' parents pass on to their progeny genes which can govern life span etc. Humans, by overeating, can shorten their lives. So, naturally, dogs by being overfed can die at a younger age."

Cairn Terriers make wonderful pets for all ages of family members and with proper care, which includes a healthy diet ( making sure to keep them trim and fit ), exercise and lots of love, they have an average life span of 12-15 years with many living longer.

Depends on if you live on a busy street and how if there is a wicked witch of the east and west nearby. Seriously, I think a dog that is not a full breed has a longer lifespan. No matter what you choose, a pet will live only so long.
Good luck and enjoy.
