Answer:First & foremost bear in mind that you have chosen a working breed, which excels at being strong willed, stubborn to the bone, tenacious & often has a high prey drive {chase & bring down mice, rats rabbits ect}. It's easy to nail this behavior with a firm scruff correction, which is exactly what I did when my last Beddie decided that it was be fun to suspend itself on the hem of my skirt by its teeth & carried on playing rough as she had learned to do with her litter mates. Scooping a pup's hairy little butt of the floor to look it in the face, while correcting its biting behavior with a quick shake of the scruff is anything but puppy abuse. Puppies need to be taught basic manners & method is very effective in teaching the puppy that biting human flesh is unacceptable & will not be tolerated. I have tried & discarded the yelping method because it excited the puppy & turned it into a power drunk depot who was even more keen to repeat the behavior. I want my dogs to learn that I am a strong minded pack leader that demands, not hopefully yelps like a litter mate for good behavior. I met some fantastic working line Bedlingtons at Crufts today, a tie with the Dobermann as my favorites breeds.
What's with the thick hairstyle on the face? What for? Is it physiologically identical to the poodles? They both seem to have woolly, hypoallergenic hair, and if you shave them down you probably can't identify them apart? Do they exhibit similar personality? (I have a mini-poo.)
Answer:I'm sure it has something to do with hunting. They were bred to hunt badgers and foxes. Those aren't exactly easy prey, so maybe the odd haircut protects their face.
Answer:Maybe Scottish painter Craigie Aitchison? He does... not always, but often. "Craigie Aitchison is best known for his religious paintings, mostly crucifixions, but he also paints landscapes, portraits, still life and his rather amusing pooches, the Bedlington terriers." "Everything in his paintings is based on what he sees. Recurrent motifs - birds, crosses, his beloved Bedlington terriers - all constantly rearranged to create new effects." "Colour defines Aitchison's paintings, along with the sensibility to perceive what is unique or even odd in the commonplace. An eclectic mix of flowers, vases, crucifixions, dead birds, landscapes and his beloved Bedlington terriers form his subject matter."
