Dandie Dinmont Terrier

An affectionate and fun-loving dog, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier can be a loyal companion. It is an intelligent and independent breed that can be reserved around strangers and aggressive with strange dogs, especially male Dandies. It is suitable for homes with older children and will get along well with other dogs or cats if raised with them from puppyhood. A little dog with a big bark, this breed will alert you of guests. It is not particularly difficult to train, but it is known for its stubborn streak. It is an active dog that can be a wonderful addition to the family.
