Caring for a Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Health

The long, low body puts this breed at elevated risk for intervertebral disc disease, similar to Dachshunds — limiting jumping helps protect the spine. The breed is also documented to have a higher-than-average cancer rate.

Nutrition

A quality diet in measured portions; keeping weight down reduces strain on the long back.

Grooming

The rough double coat needs regular brushing and periodic hand-stripping to maintain texture.

Training

Independent but generally biddable; consistent, positive training works well, and steps or ramps for furniture help protect the spine.

About the breed

A small Scottish terrier with a distinctive long body, short legs, and a signature topknot of hair, historically used to hunt badgers and otters.

Friendly but tough, Dandie Dinmonts are affectionate with family and suitable for households with older children.
