The Bedlington Terrier is a British breed of dog.  It has an ancient history, but opinions differ as to whether the Dandie Dinmont Terrier contributed to its development or vice versa. Although the early specimens of both breeds had much in common when they were crossed with whippets, the lines of the original breed changed slightly and became more terrier-like. The result was a dog with a gentle disposition and excellent hunting instincts.

 The Bedlington is graceful and lithe, with a long head and body that tapers down to a long, tapering neck. Its nose should be black for blue dogs, brown for dark dogs, and liver-colored for lighter shades of brown. Its ears should hang low on its cheeks; it should have no stop in its muzzle; its tail should be thick and curved gracefully over its back, and it should stand at least 18 inches tall when measured from nose to tail tip. It should weigh between 19 pounds (8 kg) for males and 25 pounds (11 kg) for females.
