Dandie Dinmont Terrier History:
While they may not look similar to the rest of the Terrier hounds, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier does bode the same characteristics as the rest of its clan. Known for their keen abilities to hunt anything from otters to badgers to foxes, they were a popular favorite for gypsies as well as any farm handlers. They were spoke about in great detail in the 1814 publication called “ Guy Mannering” by Sir Walter Scott. Receiving their recognition separately from the other Terriers in the 18th century by the AKC, they have gone on to become a family pet and still are not the most well known breed of Terriers to this day.
