Bedlington Terrier
Honeymist Kennels
In Bedlington, a colony of nailers took to the breed and became noted for their plucky terriers. These dogs never was spooked by any kind of vermin and could more than hold their own at catching a badger or rat. They were also used to catch fox, otters and other types of vermin. These dogs do not go seeking out trouble, however if they do enter into a fight it is always to the death.

In 1877, the National Bedlington Terrier Club was established in England. They were determined to bring notice to the public about these terriers, and began exhibiting them in public and in the show ring.

The Bedlington has a very distinctive mixture of hard and soft hair standing well out from the skin. It is crisp to the touch but not wiry, and it has a tendency to curl. Their colors can be blue, sandy, liver, blue and tan, sandy and tan, liver and tan. They are small dogs, males standing at 16.5 inches tall and females 15.5 inches. They should weigh 17 - 23 pounds.

Bedlington's can be extremely dog aggressive, so it's important to introduce new pets very carefully and don't leave the new pet alone with your Bedlington until they've had several weeks to get to know each other. If raised with cats they may be trusted with them, however if your Bedlington is several years old and you try to introduce him to a kitten, you may have problems. It's best to have the cat before the Bedlington for the best success of living together.

A major health concern with Bedlington Terriers is (copper toxicosis, CT).
