The Abbotsford Trust, caring for Abbotsford House the former home of Sir Walter Scott, have kindly invited the Caledonian Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club to hold their 2010 November Championship Show at Abbotsford.

A unique event in the life of our Club, your Committee is planning a weekend to remember for you and your Dandie Dinmont Terriers.

More information will be available here shortly.

Start the event with the Caledonian amongst Dandie Dinmonts and their Friends at the luxurious four star Dryburgh Abbey Hotel near Melrose.

Nestled in the heart of the Scottish Borders in its very own 10 acre private estate on the banks of the River Tweed, adjacent to the historic ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, burial place of Sir Walter Scott and Field Marshal Haig, Dryburgh Abbey Hotel is a splendid baronial country house dating back to the mid nineteenth century.

A rich history surrounds Dryburgh Abbey Hotel, with castles, countryside, abbeys, stately homes, including, naturally, our event location, Abbotsford - the home of Sir Walter Scott.

The Caledonian Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club is an active and enthusiastic supporter of this vulnerable British Heritage Dog Breed

We host three annual events and encourage everyone with an interest in Dandie Dinmonts to come and meet our Dandies and their Breeders and to support our quest to preserve this exciting breed for future generations to enjoy as much as we do.

The Caledonian Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club, as an extension of their Dandie Owner Mentoring Scheme, would like to offer all your New Dandie Puppy Owners one year's FREE Membership of the Caledonian DDTC. This will include all the Newsletters and the Club Magazine, Dandie Dialogue, together with all the updates of our Club's activities. At the moment this is restricted to UK Breeders but, if successful, we hope to include all new Dandie Owners worldwide. Please contact Keith Derry for details.
