Their diet will vary depending on their age. But ultimately, they should be fed with good quality, nutritionally balanced dog food.

A Bedlington Terrier puppy requires four small meals per day to aid their development. Meal frequency can be reduced to 1-2 meals a day once they reach maturity.

Bedlington Terriers are low shedders; however, they have a woolly coat that requires clipping and scissoring to avoid their coat becoming a knotted mess.

Most Bedlington owners visit a groomer as grooming is known to be difficult and time-consuming. Their nails will also need to keep them from becoming overly long.

Bedlingtons require a brush at least once or twice a week of a brush to make sure their fur doesn't get matted, but many owners find keeping their fur shorter helps keep it in good condition.

They are likely to need a trim every 6-8 weeks, and like with other breeds, the Bedlington's nails should be trimmed regularly because overly long nails can cause them pain and problems when walking and running.

Bedlingtons excel at agility exercises because they are fast, agile, and eager to learn new things. This is a fantastic way to keep their body and mind engaged while still assisting you in bonding with your dog.

The Bedlington Terrier will require at least an hour of exercise daily. This can ideally be divided into several walks during the day, including opportunities to sniff around and race off-leash in a safe environment. Your Bedlington also needs brief, diverse training sessions to help them learn new commands. Lots of exercise and outdoor activities will keep your Bedlington happy and healthy.

Bedlingtons need regular visits to their vet, at least twice a year is recommended. Most of them are prone to have ear problems such as inflammation and ear infections.

Like any breed, their wellness should be checked to guarantee that your dog is safe and comfortable at all phases of life.

Bedlington Terriers are generally patient and accommodating, especially around children. Their small size and playful disposition have made them famous as family pets because they can live in both the city and the countryside as long as they have enough room to run and play.

This breed is affectionate! They are also known for their love for their family. They are considered a gentle breed that is perfect for families with children.

Bedlingtons are intelligent dogs that get bored easily, so they respond best to constructive, reward-based training that should begin at a young age and be done in short sessions.

To keep their minds busy, try making their training sessions exciting and varied. Consistency is crucial with all teaching, and it's important to keep emphasizing the good behaviours you want in your dog.

Patience and a good sense of humour will come in handy as they are known for being fairly strong-willed.

Bedlingtons are usually known to be very sociable and can get along with other dogs, especially if they are well-socialized with them at an early stage. Some can get wary and hostile to unknown dogs, so they would really need early socialization lessons to help them get acquainted with a variety of other breeds, making them more likely to get along with other dogs later in life.
