Dandie Dinmont Terrier Video
Back in January 2006 Dandie Dinmont Terrier Breeders and enthusiasts from all over the world converged on Coventry, England for a breed crisis meeting called Dandie Dinmont -- from Vulnerable to Viable to discuss the decline in the breeds world wide population and how this could be address in the future to ensure the long term viability of this delightful breed of dog. The event received national publicity and the lovely Emma Massey filmed a short piece for BBC Midlands Today TV. The piece was great fun and Emma took Margaret Russell's lovely mustard dog, Fergus to a Coventry shopping centre to see how many members of the public could identify the breed. The fact that no one could emphasis just one of the problems the breed has to face up to, that of not being a very well known breed like (say) the Westie. This short film also shows what good natured, affectionate, Happy and attractive dogs Dandie Dinmont Terriers are.
This is Jackson again, our rather eccentric and clever Dandie Dinmont Terrier puppy. This item was filmed when he was about 8 months old. Check out his original game of playing Hockey, well the ever inventive jackson has now taken up a new game - basketball! He has one of those rubber balls with a rope circle and he likes to get hold of it and throw it backwards over his head and get it stuck on a table or chair or worktop then bark for us to retrieve it for him! He still plays his amazing Hockey games, but he is playing more and more Basketball now he is getting older! Watch out for 1min 13sec into the clip when he nearly hits the camera with his toy! I have never seen another dog play quite like this and Jackson is growing up a wonderfully eccentric companion and a lot of fun to have about the house. Dandies are I believe one of the only dog breeds with a genuine sense of humor! He plays literally g=for hours, but not like any other puppie we have ever had or seen, we wonder what he will get up to next!
