Clossongrey Dandie Dinmont Terriers

A reputable breeder takes the responsibility of breeding very seriously beginning with planning before the puppy is conceived; taking care to study the phenotype and genotype of the parents in order to produce robust, beautiful, healthy Dandie puppies. A reputable breeder provides:

• a healthy, nurturing environment for the dam and puppy
• education about care, grooming and training your new puppy
• support as needed throughout the entire life of your Dandie
• a contract that outlines a guarantee, expectations, and protection for your puppy
• security, by always taking your Dandie back if for any reason you cannot care for him; no matter his age or health...a shelter is NEVER an option.

We use contracts here at Clossongrey because contracts help explain the expectations we have of the folks who obtain a Dandie puppy from us. In addition, the contract outlines what the new owner can expect from us.

Dandie Dinmont puppies go to their new homes already spayed or neutered. Research has shown that young puppies tolerate the surgery much, much easier than the older dogs...and we have found that to be true. In fact, we find it is difficult to slow the puppies down enough to rest the first day or two after surgery. Our pups are also placed with a co-ownership contract and limited registration.

Although we don't ship, we do place Dandie puppies anywhere in the USA and Internationally. If a puppy must travel a long distance, he will fly in cabin accompanied by the breeder or the owner.

A microchip is a small chip placed under the skin in the area of the puppy's shoulder blades. Although it sounds awful, it is actually a very good thing for the lost puppy; microchips are easy for a veterinarian/shelter worker/animal control officer to scan and subsequently trace the owner. Sometimes lost dogs with microchips are reunited with their owners within one hour.
