Dandie Dinmont Terrier. Dandie Dinmont Terrier, breed of dog, which originated about 1700 in the Cheviot Hills region between Scotland and England. The breed is named after a character in the novel Guy Mannering (1815) by the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott. The Dandie Dinmont's coat is a mixture of hard and soft hairs and is either pepper- or mustardcolored. The dog has a large head, with a distinctive topknot of light-colored, silky hair; large, luminous, hazel eyes; a deep chest; short front legs and longer hind legs; and a short, heavy tail. It weighs 8 to 11 kg (18 to 24 lb), is extremely intelligent, and is a good watchdog. Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
