Well Flodden is now 15 weeks old, and he continues to be a sane, calm trainable pup. Yesterday I took him and my lurcher Poppy to the pub. I took him in, put his blanket on the seat next to me. he sat down, looked around him, then lay down yawned and went to sleep for 2 hours! How amazing is that. no pestering, no moving around, no irritating behaviour and no wee. He really is the most laid back character I have ever come across.

Has anyone experience of pure bred Bedlington terriers, is this their normal puppy behaviour or have I just got the most laid back puppy ever.
 
NO WAY, I am astounded daily by his behaviour. Always in a good way. I am waiting for him to hit his terrible destructive phase - but no sign yet. He is crate trained, he is house trained, he is lead trained, has recall, sits on command. Walks to heel when I walk around the fields, and I can honestly say he has trained himself. He watches the things Poppy does and then repeats. He understands, stay, out, quickly, wait and I have never spent time teaching him any of those. he travels happily in the car and lorry. I leave him in the kitchen with Poppy when I go out, at the moment we are having a load of building work done so loads of things left around, he has not chewed anything other than his own bones and chews. He cannot be this saintly for long surely. I am not complaining - I am loving it, just cannot believe it will last for ever
 
LOL- I have zero experience of pups... but a woman at work has an 11 month old Vizla... who was a total saint until 6 months old when he removed nearly ALL the wallpaper in her hallway in 2 hours!!
 
My MIL has 2 Bedlingtons. The younger one is / always has been a complete nutter where as the older one has always been quite and well behaved
