This breed is originary from England
(1880) and was born mixing Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Ohherhound and
Whippet.
With his pear-shaped head, arched back and curly coat, the
Bedlington Terrier in fact does look like a little sheep. The head has
no stop, descending in an unbroken line from crown to nose. The eyes are
small and deep set. It has a pointed tail and straight front legs with
hare-like feet. The thick double coat is a mixture of soft and harsher
hairs and comes in blue, liver or sandy. The dog may have tan markings
over the eyes and on the legs, chest and rear. The Bedlington has a
unique springy gait, particularly when moving slowly.
Playful and cheerful,
the Bedlington Terrier is loving with children and fairly friendly with
strangers. They are loyal, lively and headstrong. |
