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.
