Temperament
Spirited and fun, Dandie's are great companion dogs that are gentle and affectionate. The Dandie was described by veterinarian Frank Manolson as a dog "who looks and acts like a grizzled backwoodsman shopping in Tiffany's. If you want a real individualist, you simply must consider the Dandie Dinmont."Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club of Canada: [1]
