I found more on Eva Braun than Hitler when researching this. The below link has some info about a two Terriers named Negus ans Stasi. The info is about half way down the page under Eva Braun.
McVan's Scottish Terriers

These photos of Eva and Gretl were taken at the Kehlsteinhaus. Also seen is one of Eva's omnipresent dogs. She had two Scottish terriers, named Negus and Stasi (in her photo albums, the dogs are labeled Negus and Katuschka - perhaps "Stasi" was a nickname, or there were, in fact, three dogs (although no more than two are ever seen together). Although they looked very much alike, it seems clear that Eva is on the left, and Gretl on the right ... but compare to the two photos below. (NA RG 242-EB, Album 14, Nos. 17A and 17B)

Berghof Visitors

I couldn't find much else except the random quotes about Blondi...

The two dogs found with Hitler and Braun in the crater were said to be Blondie and Wulf (both Alsatians). Hitler was also said to have had a dog in the trenches - a terrier called Fuchs. I'm sure I've seen pictures of him with Alsatians pre-1933, and before Blondie was born (1934).
