COAT & GROOM TIPS

Dandi Dinmont Terriers have a coat mix of both soft and not so soft haircoat. By not so soft we mean "not wiry." The mix of two hair types is termed "penciled." Since this coat type is easily distinguishable to this breed in particular; it is important for the shown dog to be groomed professionally by an experienced handler/groomer well familiar with the breed. Show groomed pets have the body coat mostly or entirely plucked whereas some owners not showing pets prefer the pet is trimmed.

A complete trimming guide is somewhat extensive for this breed and we suggest acquiring a how-to guide for this breed (see below).

These books contain little or no breed specific grooming information. They do provide very good to excellent general breed information. Of course, having pictures of the breed is a great help when grooming the breed compared to having nothing else.
