The Bedlington Terrier is strong, lithe, graceful, and built for
speed. The Bedlington Terrier's unique appearance combined with
his assertive demeanor are two reasons why this dog is described
as having ''the head of a lamb,'' and ''the heart of a lion.'' The
coat is distinctive in appearance and requires daily five-minute
groomings to keep its unique shape and healthy condition. The alert,
energetic Bedlington loves to play, but is known for his mild and
gentle side. His personality earns him the reputation of a great
companion dog.
