Talk:Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Untitled
I have had my "Dandie" girl since I was 15 and she was 4 months old. She will be 11 this year. My grandmother bred them for awhile but just kept them as pets in her later years. I grew up with them. First, I will say they are not the first choice for childrens's pets because they do not tolerate that type of play too well as they can snap and bite. They can be hostile with same sex pets and seem to never warm to cats. They have a dominate attitude and tend to do just as they like. They like to dig and outdoor fencing should be below ground anchored because of that. They don't seem to fear larger animals. They will chase anything and will tunnel and dig after mice, badgers and the like. Simply said, you need to not leave them unattended. That's the negative side. On the positive side they are beautiful, clean, affectionate to family and good watch dogs with the bark of a much larger dog. My girl is the dominate one in the family. The other 2 give her a wide berth when it comes to her food bowl, her resting place and affection from her humans. A good apartment dog which needs moderate exercise. They should be walked regularily as any dog should. Dakota 18:08, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

"Good with all well-behaved children and babies as long as they are raised with them from puppyhood." - isn't this just a bad way of saying that they're bad with children. I mean most, if not all, dogs are good with children that have been around since puppyhood. And probably all children are bad-behaved at some time or another. /Kristofer 3 mars 2009

Vulnerable Native Breed
This breed is classed in Britain as a VNB - a breed which originated in the UK but now has registration numbers with the Kennel Club of less then 300 puppies per year.

I'm a Canadian teenager on a gap year before Uni and I'm really interested in this. Would anyone like a VNB paragraph/link on this page? I can write it, but am ignorant about formatting etc. Plus, I'm trying to put together a whole collection on all 29 breeds on this list, including history and so on, using Wikipedia as one of my many sources. If you can help, or are interested at all, please contact me either on my talk page or at green_ied_dragon@hotmail.com

The Press and Media Officer of the British and Irish Vulnerable Native Breeds Society has written to you Wizard offering assistance but has had no response. He can be contacted at paul @ canineartconnections.com (with no spaces!). His name is Paul Keevil.
