Dandie Dinmont Terrier |

A~ Z index |
|
Description... |
|
 The
Dandie Dinmont is a confident and intelligent little terrier, brave
and independent. He'd rather be sergeant of the house than be
babied. This delightful and entertaining dog is a clown as a
companion. But as a terrier, he has his pride, and can sometimes
seem shy or uninterested in strangers. The breed got its name from a
funny character in a book written in 1814 by Sir Walter Scott. The
character's name was Dandie Dinmont.

|
Good aspects...
|
|
The Dandie Dinmont is intelligent,
fond of children, and an excellent guard.
|
|
Be aware...
|
 The
Dandie Dinmont has a will of his own and will sometimes obey a
command reluctantly. If he ever encounters a mouse or a rat his
hunting instincts come alive, so always keep your Dandie Dinmont
Terrier on a leash or in a fenced-in, dog-safe area.
