Dog Breeds - Bedlington Terrier |
 |
The Bedlington Terrier has an appearance much like a lamb, with a curly coat that hardly sheds but requires frequent clipping and weekly brushing. The Bedlington Terrier is groomed to have a large patch of fur on top of the head. Originally this grooming technique was done to tangle rodents in the mound of hair at which point the Bedlington Terrier could kill them. This breed is believed to be a mix of a Rothbury terrier and a Bedlington. They are good hunters, used by the Bedlington miners to hunt rodents. They were also used to hunt foxes, badgers and hares, and in vicious dog fighting contests. Their love for digging remains a distinctive characteristic and as a result they must be kept in a well-fenced in area to avoid escape. They also should be kept on a lead when out for a walk as their hunting instincts easily gets them caught up in a rabbit/rodent chase! Like many dog breeds, the Bedlington Terrier bores easily and if they do not receive adequate attention or exercise and can become destructive. Attention, exercise and proper grooming help keep this breed happy and healthy!

Our cat Curtis, fondly known as “The Little Guy,” only weighs 7 lbs. When he was about four years old, we decided to get him pet insurance from PetCare at the recommendation of our vet. You see, Curtis has a sensitive digestive system and is on a special diet to help him through everyday life. Unfortunately you can’t predict everything. In this past year, Curtis has had two operations - one for foreign body ingestion and a second for gastroenteritis. After submitting our claim, PetCare immediately reimbursed me for both operations and I am grateful for the role that PetCare has taken in caring for Curtis' life. He loves his life and we love him. Thanks PetCare! |
