31 – Not a Gene Pool…a Gene Puddle: Betty-Anne Stenmark on Dandie Dinmont Terriers

Mrs. Betty-Anne Stenmark

Mrs. Betty-Anne Stenmark wrote the book on Dandie Dinmont Terriers...literally. Under the King's Mtn. kennel name, a long line of champions have been bred and an endangered breed preserved to this day.

We don't have a gene pool, we have a gene puddle.

Dandie Dinmont Terriers are a low-entry breed. A situation that many of our breeds face today. In Episode #31 of PureDogTalk.com, Mrs. Stenmark shares her wisdom and generous humor on the "Dandies".
