14. Dandie Dinmont Terrier

This sturdy, dignified breed has a beautiful, silky coat but doesn't shed. A soft topknot adorns the top of their large heads like a crown. Breeders in Scotland originally developed them to hunt otters and badgers, so their long torsos are low-to-the-ground, making it easier to chase their prey into burrows. Despite their smaller stature, Dandies have a surprisingly deep, baritone bark, and they make excellent watchdogs. The Dandie is an affectionate yet independent and strong-willed dog, and calmer than some other terrier breeds.
