In general appearance the Bedlington is a lightly built, lathy dog, but
not shelly. The skull is narrow, deep and rounded, high at the occiput,
covered with a nice silky tuft or top-knot. His muzzle must be long and
tapering. The eyes are small, placed obliquely, and close together, and
in shade should follow the color of the dog. The ears are moderately
large, placed low, thinly covered and tipped with fine silky hair, and
filbert shaped. The neck is long and chest deep, though not wide. The
back should be slightly arched, and the body well ribbed up. The tail is
thick at the root and scimitar shaped. The coat is a mixture of hard and
soft hair, of the stand-off variety, and crisp to the touch.
