Talk:Dandie Dinmont Terrier

Untitled

I have had my "Dandie" girl since I was 15 and she was 4 months old. She will be 11 this year. My grandmother bred them for awhile but just kept them as pets in her later years. I grew up with them. First, I will say they are not the first choice for childrens's pets because they do not tolerate that type of play too well as they can snap and bite. They can be hostile with same sex pets and seem to never warm to cats. They have a dominate attitude and tend to do just as they like. They like to dig and outdoor fencing should be below ground anchored because of that. They don't seem to fear larger animals. They will chase anything and will tunnel and dig after mice, badgers and the like. Simply said, you need to not leave them unattended. That's the negative side. On the positive side they are beautiful, clean, affectionate to family and good watch dogs with the bark of a much larger dog. My girl is the dominate one in the family. The other 2 give her a wide berth when it comes to her food bowl, her resting place and affection from her humans. A good apartment dog which needs moderate exercise. They should be walked regularily as any dog should. Dakota 18:08, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

"Good with all well-behaved children and babies as long as they are raised with them from puppyhood." - isn't this just a bad way of saying that they're bad with children. I mean most, if not all, dogs are good with children that have been around since puppyhood. And probably all children are bad-behaved at some time or another. /Kristofer 3 mars 2009

Vulnerable Native Breed

This breed is classed in Britain as a VNB - a breed which originated in the UK but now has registration numbers with the Kennel Club of less then 300 puppies per year.

I'm a Canadian teenager on a gap year before Uni and I'm really interested in this. Would anyone like a VNB paragraph/link on this page? I can write it, but am ignorant about formatting etc. Plus, I'm trying to put together a whole collection on all 29 breeds on this list, including history and so on, using Wikipedia as one of my many sources. If you can help, or are interested at all, please contact me either on my talk page or at green_ied_dragon@hotmail.com

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
	1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Why is the "Traits" drop down menu in the info box blank? Is it supposed to be there? There were a few grammar and punctuation errors in the article, I fixed this for you.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	You should avoid peacock terms such as "popular" you use this in the article, maybe you could replace it or remove it all together. You also use the words "well known" which is also a peacock term. Also, avoid vague words like "various" You also use this in the article. The same with "several" and "a number of". They are all used in the article.
	2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	good
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	Is "He was a fly-fisher and enjoyed his sports" included in Cook (1885), maybe you could provide an inline citation for this, as it it likely to be challenged. Your referencing is good, you have a range of reliable sources.
	2c. it contains no original research.	good
	3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	good
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	good
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	good
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	good
	6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	good
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	good
	7. Overall assessment.	yay Puffin Let's talk! 15:24, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, firstly thank you for conducting the review. Rather than add my responses in the table and risk wrecking the layout I'll simply put my responses down here. :) I've added the traits information to the infobox - I always tend to forget it when the empty fields aren't in the article. I've also added a direct citation following the fly fishing sentence, it was already cited a couple of sentences later, but if it's contentious then it deserves a direct cite.

• Fixed those points you raised, thanks for fixing those issues. Miyagawa (talk) 17:50, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Dandie Dinmont Terrier/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Needs references; temperament, care and health sections. More images would certainly be good. All sections could benefit from expansion. Good start. --Pharaoh Hound (talk) 23:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC) It appears, that these issues have been fixed now. Puffin Let's talk! 16:30, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
