In all there are thirteen short clips to view accessed from Vuvuvufio's page. Thank you Vuvuvufio and congratulations to Anna and Sunjoy's Kennel.

Using Google Translation, this is the translation of Alice TV's introduction, from Italian to English, for the programme and Dandie Dinmont Terriers:  "In origin dog from hunting, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is one of the most simpati and giocherelloni friends to us of the man. Scott must to its name to the protagonist of a story of Walter, novel that has contributed to render it popular. He is born from the crossing between Scottish, Skye and Bedilngton and although its past, adapted much good to domestic atmospheres. Fiorenza Tessari and George Porcino reveal us character and characteristics of this splendid friend from the mild temperament. It has a variable height while its hair catches up one length of five centimeters. It is a healthy and sturdy dog and receives favorably, like all the animals, the long walks to the open air. Its diet would have to preview a rich variety of nourishing substances, while for that it regards the aesthetic one is a dog that does not have need of particular cures. Enough to brush it periodically and to try always to hold clean its eyes. It is rather independent, dared, determined, obstinate, like also sensitive and dignitoso. Since from the first years of XVII the century, these terrier took the name from the small farms near which they lived. The experts are not sure of the evolutionary distance who have followed, still these dogs are excellent hunters of rats, make some, donnole and skunks, beyond that one irreplaceable company."

That's nice - irreplaceable company - and so true but I do wonder what donnoles are! [Ed]
