@petfuntrivia MYTH: Davidson was the “model”
for Dandie Dinmont in Scott’s Guy Mannering.
FALSE: Scott himself said that he had not met Davidson until after the book was published. He first met Davidson in 1816. (Dandie Dinmont Terrier - The True Story of Scotland's Forgotton Breed - 2022)

@petfuntrivia MYTH James Davidson created the
Dandie Dinmont Terrier.
FALSE: Dandies had been
a pure breed since the mid
1700’s or before. Davidson
obtained his dogs from a
number of gypsies including
The Anderson's (Dandie Dinmont Terrier - The True Story of Scotland's Forgotton Breed - 2022)

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier remains one of the world's rarest dog breeds. If you are going to @Crufts Dog Show between March 7th-10th please visit the Breed Booth and meet the Dandies up close and personal. You can help by photographing them and sharing the pics on Social Media.
