#1 As a Scottish hunting dog breed, the terrier was originally used for hunting otters and badgers – with its long, flexible body it had ideal prerequisites for hunting in the underbody.
#2 Today, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier is considered a loyal companion and a cheerful companion in many situations.
“The breed is very endearing, always friendly and fun, but unfortunately it is bred very rarely. The Dandie is a dog for everyone, he likes to take care of children's playmates or go on longer hikes," says Susanne Ehrenreich-Kofler from the Austrian Terrier Club.
