The Bedlington Terrier was developed in the nineteenth century in northern England. It was first known as Rothbury terrier, and later miners in Bedlington village used these dogs to hunt badgers, otters, foxes and vermin, thus the name was changed.

People often said that a Bedlington Terrier dog looks like a lamb. It has a woolly texture fur, long hair on the top of the head and muzzle, and tassels on the ears. This practice was adopted from its history as vermin hunter, where the quarry, would often bite the dog when trying to escape. The hair will help prevent injuries on the facial area.

The Bedlington Terrier dogs are smart, attentive, and reliable. They are gentle and mild in nature, but they will become courageous and alert when sensing a danger. They move around gracefully and do well in agility or obedience competition.
