Also known as Lamb dog, Bedlington
A lamb in looks, a sprinter and a terrier underneath
The Bedlington looks like a little lamb, with a curly topknot and arched back, but it was bred to chase vermin and race. It is affectionate and quiet at home, fast and determined outdoors, and its coat needs regular clipping.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Very little, which suits many allergy-prone homes, but the coat mats easily and needs regular brushing and clipping.
Yes, it is calm and quiet indoors if it gets a good run every day. Without exercise, it can become restless and destructive.
Some are fine, but many have a terrier temper with unfamiliar dogs. Early socialisation helps, and off-lead meetings should be handled with care.
