Bedlington Terriers

Bedlington Terriers

The Bedlington Terrier is a quite unique looking dog that's often described as being "lamb-like" and they are renowned for being excellent companions and pets as well as being very popular in the showring. True to their terrier type Bedlingtons are "spirited and game" being highly skilled hunters in the field and remain so even when kept in a home environment. One of the oldest pedigree terriers around the Bedlington was originally bred in northern England but by 1877 their reputation for being extremely able hunters soon spread to other regions of the land. These dogs may look like lambs but they have the heart of a lion.
