The Southern Dandie Dinmont Club held a ch show where I found some really great propects particularly in bitches, the top dogs were well able to hold their own in any competition.but perhaps it would be good if breeders were able to place promiing dog puppies in show home rather than just pet homes. I have mentioned fronts quite a bit because I  was so disappointed with the set of shoulders in a lot of the dandies. Are  breeders just looking for the  wonderful heads and forgetting the engine parts.

Tail carriage a little better than 2 2…
