Introduction

With a distinctive 'top-knot' of hair on its head, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a small yet sturdy breed, known for its elongated body and short legs. With a friendly, independent temperament, this terrier is less yappy but equally spirited as its counterparts. Originally bred for hunting, Dandies possess a moderate activity level, enjoying both playtime and cuddles. They fit well in various homes, from apartments to houses with yards, adapting with an affectionate and determined demeanor.
