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 Manchester Terrier
Elegant, compact black-and-tan terrier, lively and intelligent with strong hunting instincts and high prey drive. Affectionate and cuddly with family but often reserved with strangers. Needs regular exercise, mental stimulation, positive training, and protection from cold due to its sleek coat.
