About us
Out of the mists of the Cheviot Hills
in the border country between England and
Scotland
has come the "bonny terrier"
-
the Dandie Dinmont.
He is a rascal that will look up at you
with waggish eyes
in a cherubic face and
win your heard for all time.
In the year 1997 I got my first Dandie Dinmont Terrier
on the recommendation of Sheila Linter. It was a stroke
of good fortune because I looked for a breed which blend
with my seven years old Golden Retriever. Both dogs made
a perfect team.
The Golden diseased on cancer in the age of twelve years
and so I decided to add a young Dandie puppy. This puppy
gave the Golden more quality of life and he lived 13
more months. The three dogs were very good fellows.
Teariness was great after his death, the Dandies missed
him.
2004: Golden Retriever Ptarmigan von Mill Lane, Brandy and Oberon
on and in the river Rhine in Bonn
End of 2004 we moved house, from Bonn to the area of
Lake Constance. I was then the proudly owner of two
mustard dogs, breed by Helga Birkicht, kennel “vom
Parkwald” and a pepper bitch from Susan Benkö,
Hungary, kennel “Ibolya Koezi”. In addition I got a
second mustard puppy bitch Marylou from the kennel “German
Dandies'” from Manfred Rosenbaum.
2006: My fourDandies - Marylou, Nessy, Oberon
and Brandy and myself.
In April 2009 we got our first own Dandie-puppies in my
Kennel "von Otterswang". The mother is Nessy.
We kept one pepper-colored girl "Antonia von
Otterswang".
July 2009: Antonia von Otterswang, three months old
After Oberon vom Parkwald has died in December 2008 we
are now again four Dandies.
