Where to Buy a Bedlington Terrier

The best sources for a Bedlington Terrier ($1000–$2000 from breeders) include:

Reputable breeders: Look for breeders who health-test for Copper Toxicosis and other breed-specific conditions
Breed-specific rescue: Search breed rescue networks, though availability may be limited for this #106-ranked breed ($150–$500)
AKC Marketplace: A directory of AKC-registered breeders with verified listings

Avoid pet stores, puppy mills, and online sellers who cannot provide health testing documentation. A responsible Bedlington Terrier breeder will welcome your questions and want to ensure their puppies go to suitable homes.

Scam Warning

Watch for Bedlington Terrier puppy scams: prices drastically below $1000, sellers who ship without meeting, non-refundable deposits via wire transfer, and breeders who always have puppies available. A responsible Bedlington Terrier breeder from England lines has a waiting list, performs health testing for conditions including Copper Toxicosis, and wants to know about your home and lifestyle before placing a puppy.
