Bedlington Terrier

Another dog named after a place is the Bedlington Terrier. Its name comes from the mining town in Northumberland, England. Breeders initially meant for them to become hunters, but people discovered that they were great for dog sports and dog racing.

They have high endurance and are excellent at swimming. If there were a hairstyle competition among dog breeds, they would be among the winners because they have a stylish top knot. Bedlington Terriers stay healthy for most of their lives, but some tend to get copper toxicosis.
