Bedlington Terrier Temperament

Bedlington Terriers are playful and affectionate, and are ideal for households with children. They can also be kept in homes with smaller pets like cats if they are socialized with them from puppyhood. Bedlingtons are energetic without being yappy. Because these dogs are terriers bred to hunt small vermin, they should be kept on a leash or in a well-fenced yard to prevent them from running after rabbits and squirrels. They are loyal and quite friendly, even with strangers. The Bedlington Terrier makes a great indoor dog provided it gets a chance to exercise everyday. You may want to supervise your Bedlington when it is outdoors, as these dogs are voracious diggers.

Caring for a Bedlington Terrier

The Bedlington Terrier usually does not shed in the normal sense, since shed hairs tend to cling to the coat. You will need to brush and comb the coat on a regular basis and take the dog for coat clipping every two months or so. Keep the ears clean and free from dirt and mites, and the nails trimmed. People with allergies often choose the Bedlington because of its hypo-allergenic coat qualities. Like most dogs, the Bedlington Terrier will need to be walked daily. When left alone for long periods or not given sufficient exercise, the Bedlington can become destructive out of boredom. Health problems in this breed include copper toxicosis, distichiasis and renal cortical hypoplasia.
