Buying a Bedlington Terrier
Buying a Bedlington Terrier is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
Are Bedlington Terriers really as gentle as they look, or are they typical terriers in temperament?
They often look lamb-like, but their temperament is closer to a quick, bold terrier with a softer side. Most are affectionate, loyal, and calm indoors, but they retain strong prey drive and can be surprisingly fearless. Early socialisation and consistent boundaries help balance their gentle and spirited traits.
How much exercise does a Bedlington Terrier need each day?
They are athletic and usually need at least 45 to 60 minutes of purposeful exercise daily, plus mental stimulation. Short, gentle walks are not enough for most adults. Off-lead running in a secure area is ideal, as long as recall is reliable and wildlife is not nearby.
Why do Bedlington Terriers have a lamb-like coat and how hard is it to maintain?
Their coat is a mix of soft and harsh hair that forms a distinctive crisp, curly texture, which gives the lamb-like look. It does not shed much but grows continuously, so professional grooming or skilled home clipping is required every 6 to 8 weeks. Regular brushing helps prevent matting, especially around the ears, armpits, and legs.
What health problems are Bedlington Terriers prone to, especially copper toxicosis?
They are particularly known for a hereditary condition called copper toxicosis, where copper accumulates in the liver and can lead to serious disease. Responsible breeders screen for this and avoid affected lines. The breed may also be at risk for some eye issues and kidney problems, so health testing and regular veterinary checks are important.
Are Bedlington Terriers good with children and other dogs?
Most are affectionate with respectful children and enjoy family life, but they do not tolerate rough handling well. With other dogs they can be fine, especially if well socialised, yet some retain a strong competitive or scrappy terrier streak. Careful introductions and supervision are recommended, particularly with same-sex or very bold dogs.
Do Bedlington Terriers have a strong prey drive and can they live safely with cats or small pets?
They were originally used for hunting, so many still have a strong instinct to chase small, fast-moving animals. Some can live peacefully with cats they are raised with, but they may not be safe around unfamiliar cats or small pets like rabbits. Secure fencing and good recall training are essential to manage this tendency.
Are Bedlington Terriers suitable for apartment living or do they need a large garden?
They can live comfortably in an apartment if their exercise and mental needs are met every day. Indoors they are usually relatively calm and clean. A secure garden is helpful but not essential, provided they get regular walks and chances to run in safe areas.
How often should a Bedlington Terrier be groomed and clipped to keep the correct look?
Most need a full clip or scissor trim every 6 to 8 weeks to maintain the classic outline of the arched back, topknot, and clean lines. In between, weekly brushing and combing help prevent knots and keep the coat tidy. Many owners learn basic trimming at home but still use a groomer familiar with the breed for shaping.
Are Bedlington Terriers hypoallergenic and do they shed?
They are low shedding and often better tolerated by some allergy sufferers than many breeds, but no dog is truly hypoallergenic. Their dander and saliva can still trigger allergies in sensitive people. Spending time with adult dogs of the breed before committing is the best way to gauge your own reaction.
How trainable are Bedlington Terriers for first-time dog owners?
They are intelligent and generally eager to please, but can be independent and easily distracted by scents or movement. Short, positive training sessions work best, with firm but fair consistency. A first-time owner can do well with this breed if prepared to invest time in socialisation, recall training, and impulse control work.
