DandieOnline
is presenting the Dandie Dinmont Terrier in the Internet, comprehensive
and in encyclopaedic style.
In
the mid of the 17th century the Pepper and Mustard Dog had been bred in
the Scottish Borders, a dog that later on was to be known as the Dandie
Dinmont Terrier. To this fact a lot had been contributed by Sir Walter
Scott through his novel "Guy Mannering". However, the Dandie Dinmont Terrier
has remained to be a rare breed.
Manfred
Rosenbaum ,
webmaster of DandieOnline,
has been engaged with Dandie Dinmont Terriers since 1983, as a keeper,
as a breeder, and as an exhibitor. His first experiences with the press
media he made from 1995 to 1999 by publishing the "European Dandie Journal"
(EDJ). As publisher and editor in charge he had been responsible for the
design and the layout, too. The magazine developed from simple beginnings
to a special magazine having subscribers from a total of sixteen countries
of Europe and America.
The
"European Dandie Journal" had completely been managed by honorary individuals.
Unfortunately and with times going by, the co-operation became worse as
did the financial basis. And when certain influences from outside came
up this project had to be abandoned early in 1999, unfortunately.
Already
in October 1998 an Internet presence had been installed with the intention
to create an additional platform of information for the EDJ. After the
abandonment of the "European Dandie Journal" the Internet presence DandieOnline
took charge of the successful job of the EDJ on its own and continued
that work with the help of a newly formed team.
With
the many years, Manfred
Rosenbaum has collected an immeasurable fund of information,
stories, collectables, pictures, and graphics out of the history of the
Dandie Dinmont Terrier of more than 150 years. In that way, DandieOnline
became one of the greatest and most significant - and probably most successful
- sites on dogs in the world wide web. |
