A Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a small Scottish dog breed in the terrier family. The breed has a very long body, short legs, and a distinctive topknot of hair on the head. They are friendly but tough, and are suitable for interaction with older children. There are breed-specific health concerns: they can be affected by spinal problems due to their elongated body, and the breed is affected by canine cancer at a higher than average rate.

This little terrier is built on long, low lines, with large, expressive eyes and a very distinctive coat. A silky soft fall of hair on the head, ear feathers trimmed short and the harder body coat clipped short and left longer on the belly and legs, as is typical of many working terriers.

Lifespan: 12-15 Years

Weight : 8-11 Kg

Height : 20-28 cm

Colours : The coat comes in either pepper(grey) or Mustard (a gold/yellow shade)

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is an intelligent, tenacious, and independent dog, bred to be hunters rather than lapdogs.

The Dandie Dinmont terrier is friendly, playful and devoted. Not a pack animal by nature, this dog will usually bond to one person, although he can fit in nicely as a member of a family. The Dandie is an alert watchdog and, while not high strung or noisy, gives a surprisingly loud bark.

Although very loving, the Dandie Dinmont terrier can be somewhat stubborn and needs an assertive and patient trainer. This breed is not at all snappy, however, and makes an excellent companion for children. This dog is also calmer than most other terrier breeds.
