Summary
About Gordon Setter
The Gordon Setter is a substantial Scottish gundog with a black-and-tan silky coat, bred for stamina in harsh terrain. Intelligent, sensitive, and loyal, it bonds closely with family, needs plenty of daily exercise, kind consistent training, regular grooming, and careful health screening.
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.
