We are a UK Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club based in Scotland, the home of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier, and the reason for our existence is to care for Dandie Dinmont Terriers and their Owners, to provide show and educational events and to preserve Dandie Dinmonts for future generations.
The Dandie Dinmont Web is a growing resource for Dandie folk everywhere and designed to share Dandie information freely and openly.
We are always available if you need us!
This is little Milly's candle. It is a reminder to care and protect your Dandies. Even the most loving and caring owners can lose their Dandie tragically.
If you have you will remember the humour, the high intelligence and the loyal, loving character of this wonderful breed of Vulnerable British Terrier.
If you have never met a Dandie - let us persuade you with our enthusiasm and show you the joy of owning and caring for this very special endangered breed of terrier - the Dandie Dinmont.

There's something very special about old things. Like walking through the old streets of Cambridge or Edinburgh, UK, touching the ancient walls and getting that feeling, slightly spooky and tingly perhaps, of the history and the people that have been there before. Old hand written Dandie Dinmont Pedigrees can have a similar effect with evocative names that those of us who study the history will recognise.
So may we introduce Badger? Born on April 25th 1875 and bred by Mrs W E Turner in the UK and given the early registration number at the UK Kennel Club of 6636. We have been lucky to be sent an original handwritten pedigree, by Phyllis Salisbury, of this Badger and those of you who collect these gems might like to add it to your collection.
Betty Olsen from Canada has provided a text pedigree of this Badger (remember that it was a common name!) which completes the pedigree and which will help you decipher the writing. If you would like a high resolution print copy, please contact the webmaster through our contact form.
Wait... there's more! Another exciting development for the Dandie Dinmont Web database. As of yesterday we now have around 20,000 dogs in our offline databases and we are working hard to integrate these databases so that they can be put online. That is a big leap from 8,000 to 20,000!

Best in Show Morris' Needwood Fancyman at Pennywave
The Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club held their AGM and Open Show on another dreary rainy day on Sunday 20th April, 2008, but, despite having had to change venue because of hall refurbishment, a happy and friendly day was had by all and it did stop raining eventually!

The show was very busy with exhibitors and visitors and, as one Committee Member commented, it was a crowded hall worthy of a Championship Show!
Lynda Bromley (Kennel Mishahda) was the Judge for the day and she found her Best of Breed in Christine Morris' Needwood Fancyman at Pennywave with Best Opposite Sex going to Jackie and Billy Shore's Swanwillow Savannah handled by Paul Eardley. Reserve Best Dog was Deidre McLeod's Healaval Usquebae and Beverley Deacon's Cassencarrie Habit Forming was Reserve Best Bitch. Beverley's Cassencarrie Red Ribbon was Best Puppy and Best Veteran went to the Perry's Somercloud Tinkerman.
Dont forget you can log on to this site and check out all the pedigrees of the winners!
Once again, Beverley Deacon has very kindly scanned the catalogue for you so you can see the full results:
