| Description: In full show trim the Bedlington Terrier looks more like a shorn lamb than a dog. He is a rather quiet dog suitable for family life, easy to train and usually adores children. He makes a loyal companion who is affectionate and able to adapt to every mood of his owner. A true terrier he is lovable, full of fun, and a terror when its temper is provoked. |

| Temperment: The Bedlington is among the softer terriers, not only in looks and feel but in temperament. It is companionable, demonstrative, and loyal. It enjoys its creature comforts and is a fairly quiet housedog. Even though it will seldom initiate a fight, it will not allow itself to be intimidated by other dogs and can be a scrappy fighter when pushed. It will give chase to small animals outdoors, but it can usually coexest with them indoors. |
| Origin: England |
