Bedlington Terrier

The breed

The Bedlington Terrier is a distinctive small-to-medium terrier with a graceful, lamb-like appearance. Its narrow, pear-shaped head, arched back, tasseled ears, and curly or crisp coat give it an elegant outline unlike most other terriers. Common coat colors include blue, liver, sandy, and combinations with tan markings. Despite its soft-looking coat, the breed is athletic and built for speed.

Bedlington Terriers are often affectionate, lively, and alert companions. They can be playful and spirited, with the confidence and determination typical of terriers. Many are gentle and devoted with their families, while remaining watchful around unfamiliar people or animals. Their personality combines a calm, cuddly side indoors with an energetic, enthusiastic side during activity.
