- Bedlington Terrier
|
These
friendly looking terriers were originally
bred to kill rats and badgers
They are thought to originate from the
village of Bedlington in Northumberland
UK.
Bedlingtons bear a striking resemblance
to lambs, they are calm, confident,
good-tempered and graceful dogs with
plenty of courage. A good family dog,
eager to please, that will eagerly attach
themselves to all members of the household. |
They
are generally mild mannered and extremely
loyal and as with many terriers they
can be fiesty and tenacious but once
socialised they are sweet natured,
sociable and affectionate family members.
Generally they are good with other
dogs and pets but can sometimes be
reserved with strangers.
If left alone with nothing to do they
will often become bored and sometimes
destructive this can be avoided by
exercise; however, they will make
good dogs for small homes or flats
as long as they get lots of walks
and plenty of attention anbd play.
Their thick and curly coat requires
regular clipping and grooming to keep
it in order. They do shed very little
hair but their coat may need daily
brushing to avoid it matting.
Enjoys a lot of exercise especially
in places where they can be off the
lead, this usually results in them
being quieter at home
