Notes
 

A Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a small breed of dog in the terrier family. The breed has a very long body, short legs, and a distinctive "top-knot" of hair on the head.

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is named for Dandie Dinmont, a jovial farmer in Sir Walter Scott's novel Guy Mannering, who owned many terriers. The breed was first registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1888.
