Description
This little chappie was at the show yesterday, he is a Bedlington Terrier.
The Bedlington Terrier is a breed of small dog named after the mining town of Bedlington, Northumberland in North East England. Originally bred to hunt vermin in mines.
Bedlingtons are noted for their similarity in appearance to lambs. The dogs have blue, liver or sandy colouration, all three of which may have tan points. Their fur forms a distinctive top knot on the dog's head.
Originally known as the Rothbury or Rodbury Terrier, the name Bedlington Terrier was not applied to the breed until 1825, but some dogs have pedigrees that can be traced back as far as 1782. The first dog shows with a class for Bedlington Terriers was held in 1870 at Bedlington. Bedlington Terriers shown at early shows were frequently dyed to improve the look of their fur. In 1948, a Bedlington Terrier known as Rock Ridge Night Rocket won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Amazing dog and very great shots!
I've never seen or heard of those before. Strange looking in a cute kind of way though
Great looking dog!
These are some wonderful captures of this adorable little guy, Barbara.
I must say I have never seen or heard of this breed, they certainly have a kind of resemblance to a lamb but being terriers and they were bred to hunt vermin in mines I do suspect they are probably more tenaciously extrovert than their appearance may convey.... maybe a little wolf in sheep's or rather lambs clothing?. Very insightful information and lovely shots of this unusual breed.... love the ears too.
I have always fancied one of these, but I doubt they turn up as rescues very often!
Different for sure! never heard of this breed until today
look strange dog to me ((5++))
Does look a lamb, first time I have seen one, outstanding captures!
Oh now, there's a cute little guy. Adorable.

They do look like lambs and I can't say that I have seen them before!
Such a cute dog breed.
