John E. Ferneley Jr.'s 1848 "A Dandie Dinmont Terrier" looks a bit different from the modern-day fellow you meet at the
AKC's page on the breed. This one looks, I think, closer to the rough Scottish working terriers who had a small role in Sir Walter Scott's novel
Guy Mannering; they were named "Mustard" and "Pepper" after the color of their coats, and it was their farmer owner who was named Dandie Dinmont.
