DANDIE DINMONT CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 08 Judge: Miss Patricia Clayton DANDIE JUDGE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 08 Dandie Dinmont Terriers A delightful breed to have the pleasure of going over again, I note from my catalogue that my CC winners both have Canadian bloodlines in their pedigrees.

BP. JD (4,1a) 1 Carter’s Cassencarrie James Blonde, upstanding mustard, has a lot to offer the breed & was handled by his breeder, typical Dandie head, good mouth, round eye of correct colour, well let down in front, desired muscular neck, beautifully proportioned, weaselly body, nice spring of ribs, muscled hindquarters with correct carried tailset, moved out soundly in true Dandie style with desired drive, very confident & showed it, in pleasing texture jacket.
