The Bedlington Terrier has an appearance much like a lamb, with a curly coat that hardly sheds but requires frequent clipping and weekly brushing. The Bedlington Terrier is groomed to have a large patch of fur on top of the head. Originally this grooming technique was done to tangle rodents in the mound of hair at which point the Bedlington Terrier could kill them. This breed is believed to be a mix of a Rothbury terrier and a Bedlington. They are good hunters, used by the Bedlington miners to hunt rodents. They were also used to hunt foxes, badgers and hares, and in vicious dog fighting contests. Their love for digging remains a distinctive characteristic and as a result they must be kept in a well-fenced in area to avoid escape. They also should be kept on a lead when out for a walk as their hunting instincts easily gets them caught up in a rabbit/rodent chase! Like many dog breeds, the Bedlington Terrier bores easily and if they do not receive adequate attention or exercise and can become destructive. Attention, exercise and proper grooming help keep this breed happy and healthy!

Pethealth has been fantastic. When Tasha was diagnosed with cancer, it gave me the ability to have her treated with much less concern over the finances. It allows for a much less selfish decision and allowed me to do the right thing for her without thinking about the money. Thank you for the quick way you handled it too. At a time of stress, you made that easy. She lived over a year after her diagnosis and almost all of that was with high life quality thanks to your help. Whoever says pet insurance is not worth it has a lot to learn about Pethealth and 24Petwatch Pet Insurance.
