Bedlington Terriern Detailed Introduction

The Bedlington Terrier originated in the 19th century and is native to the United Kingdom. Originally named Rosebell Terrier, it was mainly used to hunt hidden prey such as foxes, hares and badgers. From the late 18th century to the early 19th century, it was bred and bred by Whippet, Dandie Dinmont Terrier and other dog breeds, and was bred and improved to the current height, beauty, fast and agile dog breed, while maintaining the original vitality and endurance. It was first exhibited as a separate breed in 1877. Now it is more used as a city family dog and a guard dog that barks to alert.

The Bedlington Terrier was originally a fierce hunting dog that hunted rats and protected poultry from foxes. Now that its original characteristics have been softened, it has become a toy and companion dog that is loved by girls with its "little lamb" appearance. The dog was named after the city of Bedlington in 1825 by a man named Joseph Ansley, who is recognized as the founder of all standard Bedlington terriers. Therefore, the Bedlington Terrier also has a relatively deep cultural heritage.

The earliest record of the Bedlington Terrier comes from a diary of a Hungarian nobleman. It wrote that in 1702, he visited the Rosebeling area and participated in local hunting activities. When passing through a gypsy camp, he encountered a dog with a sheep's head. The locals told him that this dog was very good at hunting hares and was often fed by people who loved sports. He even described the dog's "red brick-colored hair" in the diary. These descriptions are undoubtedly consistent with today's liver-colored Bedlington Terrier.

The Bedlington Terrier is naturally bold, strong, and quick-witted. The appearance of the Bedlington Terrier is very similar to that of a lamb. It has the appearance of a lamb but the ambition of a lion. Moreover, its beautiful and elegant appearance is very different from its character. It retains the aggressive ambition of its ancestors. The Bedlington Terrier is a breed of dog with a strong jaw.

The Bedlington Terrier needs a lot of exercise. If there is not enough exercise, it will cause fatal damage to the Bedlington Terrier. The Bedlington Terrier has a strong adaptability and can adapt to any cold or hot climate. And the Bedlington Terrier will be the most loyal family dog after being tamed. For breeders who like cleanliness, the biggest advantage of the Bedlington Terrier is that it does not shed hair, but the coat needs to be trimmed regularly.
