Our Committee meets at Beattock near Moffat several times a year. At our own expense, lunch is enjoyed first followed by a full afternoon of Club Business.
The Caledonian learns from the past and deeply cares for the future of our breed, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier. We have been fortunate in our breed. Past Breeders maintained our breed as relatively healthy and fit for purpose and we must build on that excellent heritage.
We constantly monitor the wellbeing of our breed and act when we can. For example the CDDTC recently contributed both financially and by a DNA Collection Session, to the University of Helsinki who are studying Dandie Dinmont DNA and close to a breakthrough which will enable DNA testing of our breed for the gene responsible for Closed Angle Glaucoma.
The Caledonian Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club is an active and enthusiastic supporter of this vulnerable British Heritage Dog Breed
We host three annual events and encourage everyone with an interest in Dandie Dinmonts to come and meet our Dandies and their Breeders and to support our quest to preserve this exciting breed for future generations to enjoy as much as we do.
