Bedlington Terrier Breed Profile
The Bedlington Terrier belongs to the AKC Terrier Group and looks more like a lamb than a dog. Today's Bedlington is a suitable dog for family life. They make loyal and affectionate companions who adore children. True to being an inquisitive terrier, they should be on leash when not confined outdoors. Energetic, and fun, Bedlingtons make great family pets. This loveable, non-shedding dog is sometimes stubborn, but very easy to train.

Rothbury Terriers, Bedlington Terriers originated from Great Britain in
the 1800s. Their ancestry consists of crosses of wire-coated terrier
breeds: Whippet, Dandie Dinmont Terrier. The early dogs were used for
hunting foxes, rodents, and weasels. By the early 1900s Bedlington
Terriers were bred as companion dogs. They acquired their look from
newer methods of trimming, giving the breed the appearance of a sweet
lamb.
