You are going to have a very difficult time finding this dog. This is an extremely rare breed. Also, the breeders are going to be a little suspicious of all the interest in the breed after the Westminster show.

This dog will also be very expensive. I'm not trying to second guess you, but if I may ask you a question that I hope doesn't offend - had you ever heard of them before this week?

I doubt you'll find many breeders but I'm sure that will change over the next 6 months to a year. The demand will go up because people saw Harry and thought he was cute. Some disreputable breeders will try and capitalize on his fame.

I hope this didn't sound harsh. I wasn't trying to be. There have been several posts about Dandi's today asking the same question and it's just interesting. They are cute though!

Best of luck.

The DANDIE DINMONT TERRIER is a rare breed and for good reason.
They are not for everyone. They are high-maintenance and true Terriers. Those who breed them will not just sell them to anyone. A lot of breeders of these and other rare breeds will sometimes ONLY sell to someone interested in showing the dog or altering it and then keeping it solely as a family pet so that it has no chance of being bred out wrecklessly.
I surely hope you are not struck simply by the "cuteness" factor thanks to Bill Cosby's Dandie "Harry".
Harry is a very successful show dog who also happens to be one of the best-looking specimens of his breed.

I hope you continue your research and think long and hard before deciding on a breed.

Don't bother...you will NOT find any reputable breeder ON-LINE!!!
EVER!!!Only pond-scum CROOKS sell on-line!

Dandies are rare *&* DO ***NOT*** look like that w/out LOTZ of PROFESSIONAL GROOMING!!! Any more than poodles come in a show-pattern!
They're a HAND-STRIPPED breed!!
