The slowest dog in the world is the Basset Hound.I think a Basset Hound could outrun a Dandie Dinmont Terrier any day (unless the Basset trips on his ears along the way). I vote for the Dandie to be the slowest.Actually, I think a Pekinese will be the slowest. They have more of a waddle than gait.

The Bedlington Terrier was developed in the country of Northumberland, England. The original name for the Bedlington Terrier was the Rothbury Terrier, named after the district of Rothbury located on the English border. About 1825 the breed was renamed the Bedlington Terrier after the Bedlington Mining Shire. The breed was a prized hunting dog of foxes, hares and badgers. It was also used as a vermin hunter by the miners of Bedlington. The miners exploited its gameness as a fighting dog in the pits and hunters used them as retrievers. Both the Otterhound and Dandie Dinmont Terrier are possible contributors to the breed. Some breeders, especially those in England will cross Bedlingtons with Whippets and Greyhounds to produce what they call Lurchers.
