The head is wedge-shaped with sparkling eyes. Although it looks meek when reclining on the couch, the
Bedlington Terrier is argumentative and every inch a terrier when aroused. His body shape is unusual for a terrier, being somewhat like a
Greyhound or Whippet in construction, which enables him to gallop at great speed. However, his front legs are constructed differently from coursing
hounds in that his front legs are closer together at the feet than at the elbows. This enables him to turn or pivot quickly when chasing quarry at high speed. At a trot, the
Bedlington Terrier moves with a 'mincing' gait, picking its feet up in what appears to be a dainty manner.
