The most distinctive feature of this gutsy terrier is his curly, woolly coat. He is sometimes described as having the head of a lamb and the heart of a lion. This is a dog that was bred to quickly kill not only rats, but also badgers, otters and foxes. Aroused, the dog is particularly alert and full of immense energy and courage. Noteworthy for endurance, Bedlington's also gallop at great speed, as their body outline clearly shows.

The alert, energetic Bedlington loves to play, but is known for his mild and gentle side. His personality earns him the reputation of a great companion dog
