Dandie Dinmont Terrier:
First Time in the Garden Cute Dandie Dinmont Terrier Puppies
Oh the joy of the big outside world! This video clip was filmed when our litter of 5 male Dandie Dinmont Terrier puppies were allowed in the garden for the first time and they experienced the sheer joy of running and freedom and fresh air for the first time!
Dandie Dinmont Terriers are one of the UK's rarest breeds and are officially recognised as a "Vulnerable Native Breed" by the UK Kennel Club due to their low population numbers.
A recent breed club survey suggested that their could be as few as 50 breeding females left in the UK. The Dandie is just one of a group of British and Irish dog breeds causing concern because of their low numbers, some of the others include:
(2007 Puppy totals in Brackets)
Glen of Imaal Terrier (36)
Skye Terrier (37)
Otterhound (41)
Sussex Spaniel (61)
Smooth Collie (63)
Sealyham Terrier (65)
Field Spaniel (67)
Welsh Corgi (Cardigan)(68)
Irish Red & White Setter (93)
Manchester Terrier (113)
Dandie Dinmont Terrier (124)
Norwich Terrier (128)
Lancashire Heeler (146)
Irish Water Spaniel (162)
Clumber Spaniel (223)
To put these numbers in perspective, in 2007 the Kennel Club registered over 45,000 Labradors!
