Bedlington Terriers are a versatile breed. With their origins as a working, pit fighting dog in England, they grew into a gentleman’s dog and have since been known as being equally adept at being both a sweet, cuddly housemate and an energetic, alert athlete. They love to be the center of attention, and they are also loyal and protective of their families. Bedlingtons don’t shed and are very easy to have around the house. They like a fair amount of exercise to satisfy their energetic spirit, but they still make great house pets because their happy-go-lucky attitude makes them comfortable anywhere.
