100 years ago in COUNTRY LIFE

EVERY dog-lover has some favourite breed by which he swears, but the man or woman who has owned a Dandie Dinmont knows that in very truth there is no dog to match him. There are dogs faithful unto death—many a mongrel has been that—but the eyes of your Dandie will follow you to Eternity. His is an absorbing personality which you cannot evade—in this world or the next. It seems superfluous to call attention to his intelligence; most dogs are intelligent, but the Dandie responds with eloquent eyes to every syllable that you say to him. Is there anybody still unaquainted with the odd, short-legged, domeheaded little beggar; game as a pebble, faithful as a lover, fierce to strangers and staunch to friends? The Scottish Border is the recognised home of these quaint little goblin fellows.
