Summary
About Dandie Dinmont Terrier
Small, long-backed terrier with a distinctive silky topknot, the Dandie Dinmont is calm and affectionate at home but brave and determined outdoors. Originally bred to hunt otters and badgers, it has a low-shedding, high-maintenance coat and is rare, making responsible breeding vital.
About Large Münsterländer
Medium–large, athletic German gundog with a distinctive black‑and‑white, ticked coat. Intelligent, people‑oriented and affectionate, yet independent with strong hunting and prey drive. Needs experienced, active owners, plenty of daily exercise, training and mental stimulation to stay content.
