The main problem that I found was movement both in front and behind. I was particularly surprised to find such a deterioration in hind movement since the last time I judged. Though I feel that over-flashy presentation should be discouraged - some of the exhibits could have looked so much better had they been groomed with a little more care. Mouths were good apart from one dog and temperaments were excellent and just stressed what a lovely breed the Dandie Dinmont is. There was a huge variation in eye shapes and colour. Some had eyes which were rather prominent - others that were smallish - and some were rather light. But in a way eye shape and colour are the least of our problems and we need to concentrate on conformation and movement. Size was, by and large, OK.

DANDIE DINMONT TERRIER

The entry of 61 dogs was very pleasing and it was good to welcome a number of newcomers to the Dandie world. The main problem that I found was movement both in front and behind. I was particularly surprised to find such a deterioration in hind movement since the last time I judged. Though I feel that over-flashy presentation should be discouraged - some of the exhibits could have looked so much better had they been groomed with a little more care. Mouths were good apart from one dog and temperaments were excellent and just stressed what a lovely breed the Dandie Dinmont is. There was a huge variation in eye shapes and colour. Some had eyes which were rather prominent - others that were smallish - and some were rather light. But in a way eye shape and colour are the least of our problems and we need to concentrate on conformation and movement. Size was, by and large, OK.
