Bedlington Terrier - saw one today! General Chat

Saw one of these todays... I think he was a puppy and he came running up to me for a play. One of the cutest little dogs I've seen in a long while... I want one!

His coat was so soft too - I expected it to be rough. what are they normally like?

Any Dogsey Members got one? Post pics please!

I groom two, a working one with quiet a harsh coat and a show one there lovely but the trims a nightmare you have to shave there faces and you leave a diamond tassle on the ears lol

So I guess the one I saw was a puppy? His coat was soooooooooooo soft

Ask the owners to join Dogsey and post piccies for me

They are gorgeous Azz, when I first saw them I thought they looked like Little lambs that had gone wrong, but since then I have met quite a few and agree they are lovely and well worth thinking about. They are from what I have been tolld lovely to live with , though can be stubborn.

They sound beautiful - someone post a piccie???

This is a site of an Ayshire Lady I know who breeds them. Lots of pics here

Awww they're like little lambs - thanks Lovezois.

These are two pictures Ive found in photobucket just for you Azz

One of my neighbours has one (called Archie) his coat is really soft too (but then he is also quite young).

I don't think Archie can be from working lines -he doesn't seem to have any typical terrier traits but he is very sweet.

awwww they are lovely, I want one now

There was one that used to go to our obedience club, he was a rescue and very timid, don't know if that was just because of his past or the breed, he was gorgeous, he was doing the KC good citizen awards and I haven't seen him for a while thought

I dont care for the type and temepraments on the show type Beddies, the working ones are ace!

Hi Dawn
We shall have to agree to disagree on this one as
I have to say the show one's I have met and I have met quite a few have all had lovely temperaments.

I have never met any working one's so can't comment on them.

Thanks for the piccies and comments all!

He was just like that! But with less hair on his face

He was really 'bouncy' too and when he jumped up to you... it didn't hurt!

Did you take the pics MS? They're very good!

Edit: Just looked at the pics on the website posted... he didn't look like those, but much more so like in the pics MS posted.

Most of the show ones I have met are timid and not bold, to me thats not good in a working terrier, the working ones are far less exaggerated in conformation and coat and are happy, outgoing, in your face dogs that love a rough and tumble. Only my opinion, but to me Beddies are one of the worst exxagerated breeds there is. A couple examples for you and one of a show type for comaprison.

Show type.

​

Working type.

​

there is a guy who visits his nan , near me has one called snowy and it is so gentle and friendly , next time i see him ill get a pic of her as she is the sweetest we soul just like a little lamb , i see him every few weeks or so xxdk

meant to add lovely pics everyone xxdk

Awwwwwwwww bless there sweet i have never seen one before

I trim too owned by the same person a show and a working. The working was a rescue and ill treated so shes a bit nervy the show ones only 15 months old and very out going loves everyone.

The show type is the one i see every few weeks , dont worry azz i have my eyes peeled , for a sighting , and will post piccies , xxdk
