It was first documented about 200 years ago although back then the breed was known as the Rothbury Terrier they were bred on the border of England and Scotland are mostly used for hunting closer to the 19th century the popularity of the dogs increased that's when they acquired the familiar refined and sophisticated appearance interestingly at some point breeders started to fight some of try to keep the hunting qualities that the breed others wanted to breed dogs with a soft flexible nature to enable them to be adopted as pets we can't say who won this battle but today the Bedlington Terriers are one of the most expensive and rare dog breeds they're especially popular among the aristocrats when you look at this amazing dog with cropped curly hair you can't really be surprised.
