Besoeker, if that little man needs to be rehomed, please get them to talk to the breed specific rescue.as they understand the breed, know the health issues, and how to look after their coats.
I would NOT use an ordinary rescue.


This lady is from the National Bedlington Terrier Club, and does the rescue work.

Thank you Mups. I think, if the worst happens, he might end up with us. But it it isn't our decision.

He is totally fine with Max when we walk. How Max would do sharing his home, I don't know.

OK. But if you do take him on, remember they don't moult, so need to be clipped about every 7 - 8 weeks.
They often need their ears plucking regularly too, as some get hairs rooting inside the ear canal, and you can't leave it blocked like that.

Max gets groomed once a month by a professional groomer. Bathed and trimmed. We could do the little Bedlington that way too.

Re: That dog again

Max blotted his copy book today.
We trotted little Ozzie back home. As usual, Max escorted him into his back garden. Then Max went, uninvited, into the kitchen and scoffed Ozzie's dinner.

I didn't know about it at the time. The girls chatted in the back garden, and Max just wandered in.
I can't really blame him. We humans should have been more aware. Dogs are dogs.

Lesson learned.

Re: That dog again

And today, he made up for it. I had to make a deposit in the poo bin. It is on a busy street so I asked Max to wait with Ozzie until I got back. Not too far, maybe 30 yards, but just out of sight. He did as he was bidden. And Ozzie won't go without his boss, Max.

Re: That dog again

Today, Max had his grooming. The whole nine yards. Bathing, clipping, and he loves it. His fur feels so soft and silky and people comment on it. I think it looks like he has had boot polish on the black parts and angel dust on the white collar. I know I am biased as his owner but he really is a smart looking fellow.

The groomer lady is brilliant. Max had problems with calcium deficiency so she bought a ramp to help him into her car. He is doing fine now and just leaps in.

Ozzie's owner wants a new groomer. Ours may get a new customer.

Fireworks time of year. Frightens pets. But we got calming pills. Max seems to be doing OK on them as well...........

I would never leave my dog unattended or off a lead on a busy street...or anywhere...even if it were only 30 yds away...no matter how much you "think " you know your dog....
