How do you feel about failing to raise a dog? Heartbroken reply: "I have a Bedlington Terrier at home. I originally treated it as my own son, but I didn't expect that after raising it, I found out that it was not my biological son, but actually a terrier!"
Little The editor is very sympathetic to this netizen's experience. I believe that this kind of thing is not the only one that has encountered this kind of thing. Many dog owners may have had similar experiences. Anyway, every time I hear about dog owners being deceived, I get very angry and want to help every dog owner choose their favorite dog!
But as the saying goes, "It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." So I hope you can master some selection skills. So next, the editor will popularize the selection method of Bedlington Terrier based on the experience of the netizen just now.
1. Observe the body type
The Bedlington Terrier has a distinctive body shape, with a narrow and round head, large and black nostrils, closed and tight lips, ears and cheeks hanging apart, small and bright eyes, and a long neck. It is slender and long, has flat and sloping shoulders, and a slightly curved tail. It has its own style. Even if you can't see the eyes, it can't stop it from being cute. The way it tilts its head and grins has the feeling of looking back and smiling, which is very cute.
2. Look at the color
There are only two colors of Bedlington Terrier: black and brown, and they gradually change as they grow up. The coat color needs to change many times, and it usually takes about one and a half years for the color to stabilize.
Key points: As the age of black Bedlington Terrier puppies increases, the coat color will gradually appear gray, blue, white and other colors; as the age of brown Bedlington Terrier puppies increases, the coat color will gradually change. It will gradually appear yellow, sand, liver, white and other colors. And if, when you are selecting a Bedlington Terrier puppy, you find that the color is directly white, yellow or other light colors, it means that it is not a purebred Bedlington Terrier, like that small white Bedlington Terrier, it is very It's possible that it was skewered by a poodle, but be careful.
3. Look at the terrier hair
Bedlington is a terrier dog, so it must have terrier hair. If you don’t look carefully, you generally think that the coat color of the Bedlington Terrier is the same color. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the coat of the Bedlington Terrier is divided into two types: one is as fine as cotton yarn, soft, fluffy and elastic; the other is The dark terrier hair is thicker and not very soft. Bedlington TerrierWhen taking a bath, you will feel that its hair is very small and its hair color becomes darker. This is because its hair is very fine and has stalks.
As for some people on the Internet suggesting that you should meet the parents of a Bedlington Terrier before raising it, the editor feels that this method is not very practical. Do you want to identify relatives with blood, or compare DNA? If a merchant is sincerely trying to trick you, it seems difficult to tell by simply meeting your parents. What do you think?
