Bedlington Terrier Breed Profile

Breed Overview

The Bedlington Terrier is a unique and graceful small breed originally developed in England for hunting and vermin control. Recognized for its lamb-like appearance and curly, lint-textured coat, this terrier is intelligent, affectionate, and surprisingly athletic. Despite its gentle looks, the Bedlington is a true terrier—spirited, alert, and full of energy.

Classified as a small to medium-sized breed, adult Bedlingtons typically weigh between 17 to 23 pounds. Growth tracking is essential to ensure they maintain a lean and healthy physique, especially since overfeeding can lead to joint strain or other health issues in smaller breeds.

How Much Bigger Will My Bedlington Terrier Puppy Get?

Bedlington Terriers grow steadily and typically reach approximately 50% of their adult weight by four months of age. Most puppies reach their full adult size by 12 months, although some may continue to grow slightly until 14–15 months.

Rule of Thumb:

Double your puppy’s weight at 16 weeks to get a good estimate of their final adult weight. For instance, a 7 lb puppy at 4 months may reach around 14–16 lbs when fully grown.

Bedlington Terrier Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a high-quality small-breed puppy food 3–4 times a day until approximately 6 months old, then transition to twice-daily feeding.
• Keep portions measured to avoid overfeeding—Bedlingtons are prone to gaining weight if not monitored.

Exercise

• Regular play and daily walks are key to keeping your puppy fit and mentally stimulated.
• Avoid overly strenuous exercise or long runs until your pup is at least 10–12 months old to protect growing joints.

Health Watch

While Bedlington Terriers are generally healthy, a few growth and breed-related issues to watch for include:

• Copper Toxicosis: A hereditary liver disorder—routine vet screenings are recommended.
• Patellar Luxation: Common in smaller breeds; keep your pup at a healthy weight to reduce joint stress.
• Dental health: Small breeds are prone to dental issues, so it’s essential to establish good brushing habits early.
