Dandie Dinmont Terriers

A delightful breed to have the pleasure of going over again. Sadly toplines were mixed on close examination, coats lacked the desired double jacket, namely a soft linty undercoat & a harder top coat.

In the days of showing our Dandies in the ’50s, a lovely large, bright, full & round eye was evident but not in today’s modern Dandie. Rear movement on some exhibits disappointed particularly on drive in profile round the ring which unfortunately did not have nice short grass & was wet.
