Summary
About Bedlington Terrier
Bedlington Terriers are small, lamb-like yet athletic terriers with a lean, arched body and distinctive curly, low-shedding coat that needs regular grooming. Originally bred for hunting, they are fast, curious, sensitive, devoted family dogs with strong prey drive and benefit from kind training and daily exercise.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
