Hollie 21 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) When i got my Beddie/whippet someone told me that Bedlingtons were known as the silent terrier obviously meaning they are not as yappy as the typical terrier, however, looking on sites about the Beddie it said they are known to bark alot and need to be corrected otherwise it becomes a habit...........................i'm confused which is true?

chartpolski 28,403 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Bedlingtons were know as the "silent" terrier, because when they went to ground, they usualy went straight in and mixed it with the quarry, rather than stand off and bay ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
