Bedlington Terrier Dog Breed Profile Information
The Bedlington Terrier dog looks like a little lamb. This breed has a pear shaped skull, which narrows towards the muzzle, but is deep and round to look at. The jaw meets in a level or scissor bite. The next strong feature you see is their ears, here you see ears that are set low and are triangular with rounded tips. Their chest is deep. The back should be slightly arched up. They have straight front legs, while the back legs are slightly longer, adding to the arched look of this breed. The tail is set low and is thick at the base tapering to a point at the end. Their coat is a mix,of hard and soft fur and is double coated, which is thick. You will see that the soft hair stands out from the skin adding to the lamb look. Colours can be sandy, tan, liver and tan, liver, blue and blue and tan. They can have markings over their eyes, legs, rear and chest.
History: While the Bedlington Terrier is a cute looking dog its roots go back into the English history as a working dog that was used for hunting. This dog was considered to be a great asset when hunting hares, foxes, badgers, and was also used for rat hunting. This breed came from the area of Northcumerland in England, where they were known as the Rothbury Terrier, its name changed to the Bedlington in about 1825. This dog may seem like a lamb but its history tells us that this dog has been used for hunting and as a miners fighting dog, in the mine pits. The Otterhound and the Dandie Dinmount Terriers are hot contesters to be contributors to this breed.
Temperament: The Bedlington Terrier is a playful, happy dog that is capable of being very affectionate. They can make good family pets. If you have any other pets, like cats it is best that they grow up together. This breed can get on with other dogs but if the other dog shows signs of being dominant this dog will not back down and is a fearsome fighter. They love to dig, and are very fast runners. Although we have a dog that looks like a lamb this dog can be more a lion. This breed like most working dogs need's lots of mental and physical exercise. He loves to run and chase so it is best to let him off the lead in an enclosed area. This dog can be highly strung, and barks so care has to be taken to train them well, with plenty of exercise, if they are well balanced in their needs, problems are less likely. It is best to give good pack leadership and this will help the dog to avoid separation anxiety.
Health issues: The Bedlington Terrier can have a very worrying condition called Copper Storage Disease; this is hereditary and affects the liver. They can also suffer kidney disease, PRA, and thyroid conditions as well.
Grooming: The Bedlington Terrier dog breed is good for allergy sufferers due to the lack of shedding. The coat will need clipping every six to eight weeks. This breed sheds little to no hair. Brush regularly and check the ears plucking as needed to keep the ears clean. This breed can be bathed but only do this when needed as, if too much bathing is done, it can affect the coat, making it limp and lank. If you wish to show this dog then a lot of time needs to be spent learning how to groom this dog to show standards, or cost will be incurred at a specialist saloon.
Living conditions: The Bedlington Terrier dog breed can live anywhere, providing that needs for exercise are met, in both physical and mental stimulation. They will do well in a good secure garden but this is not the same as the walks this breed need.

Silky Terrier Dogs - Facts You Should Know About Your Furry Pet!
Besides the limitations of apartment living, other space constraints can be caused in the dog-master relationship with too many people sharing the open space the pet could have utilized for moving about, other apartment owners complaining about keeping pets or the noise they generate or simply having to share their living space with non-dog lovers.
All of the above can be stressful for the sensitive silky terrier dog and as a concerned owner of this breed of pet dogs, you have to understand the implications of keeping your pet in conditions that may not be conducive to your pet's health, treating him unlike you would a toy.
This means, to be aware of the needs of a pet-dog as opposed to a robotic relationship with a toy one and work to build a bond between self and the dog so as to have a happy, hassle-free four-legged companion in fair and foul weather, Monday blues notwithstanding. For, dogs are the most forgiving of companions a man can hope to have, and the advantages of owning a silky terrier pet dog are many!
Among the chief virtues of a silky terrier dog is that its coat is true to its name: it is indeed glossy with straight and silky hair that is not prone to a lot of shedding like other dogs and therefore not a bane for the house-keeper (as well as other residents in the apartment structure) but is a delight for the proud owner who takes pains with the grooming of their pet dog.
Regular vacuuming, proper and timely grooming such as shampooing and brushing of the dog's coat and also the advantage of a good watchdog due to its terrier nature are all high points of owning a silky terrier pet dog, though they are known to be quite possessive of family members and do not like being alone much (unlike the Golden Retrievers that manage quite well by themselves).
As their coat is silky, it does call for regular brushing to avoid matting of hair; your silky terrier may also be prone to suffering throat infections as they have a especially sensitive trachea, so you may need to consult with your pet health specialist to ensure ways to avoid these problems occurring.
Known to be difficult dogs to housebreak, the silky terrier pet dog calls on owners to have loads of energy to deal with their training and related activities, such as teaching them desirable behavior but minus a choke collar; this means firm handling by training is sufficient for getting the right results from the sensitive silky terrier dog.
It is also a breed that is likely to suffer frequent boredom and since it likes to frolic and play in open spaces, the owner needs to keep the silky terrier occupied with interesting activities outdoors as well as indoors. But, all in all, it's a fun dog to have around the home – so get one for yourself and know the joy of owning a bundle of fun yourself!
