Care of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier
- Maintenance: it requires frequent brushing and regular but not excessive baths to preserve the coat texture. It is usual to brush it 2 or 3 times a week and bathe it every 4 to 6 weeks, adjusting the frequency according to the level of dirt and lifestyle.
- Brushing and grooming: it is recommended to work it with a soft brush or pin brush, combining it with a metal comb to check legs, beard, skirts and armpits. It is important to detangle without breaking the texture and to use suitable shampoos for terrier coats, with light conditioners only when needed so as not to weigh the coat down.
- Haircut: the usual grooming aims to maintain the long body line, the head topknot and the characteristic expression of the breed. The body is usually worked by removing dead hair or maintaining a controlled length, while legs, beard, chest and contours are groomed in more detail to preserve a clean and natural finish.
- Special attention: it is advisable to monitor the beard, the topknot, the lower part of the body, armpits, groin and legs, where tangles can form or dirt can accumulate. It is also necessary to control the hygiene of eyes, ears and the perianal area, as well as the condition of the skin under the coat.
- Recommended grooming appointments: bath every 4 to 6 weeks and grooming every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain the coat shape. In dogs with denser coats or a tendency to tangle, visits may be somewhat more frequent.

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a small terrier with an elongated body and short legs, with a very characteristic silhouette and a rounded head with a soft topknot.

It is not a heavy shedding breed, but it does require constant maintenance to avoid matting, excess dead hair and loss of the typical coat shape.
