• A Bill for the suppression of the practice was introduced into the British House of Commons in 1802, but was defeated by 13 votes, and it was not till the year 1835 that it was finally put down by Act of Parliament, called the Cruelty to Animals Act 1835

Take a deep breath you 're almost finished and face your Bedlington Terier head on. With the scissors parallel to the side of the face, start at the clippered line between eye and ear and begin to narrow the hair on the skull. Your objective is to give a long narrow look to the head. Take the scissors and do the same on the line between the eye and the corner of the mouth. Trim off any hair that curls down over the top lip, making it even with the lip and very short around the mouth. Now standing to the side, start at the back of the nose and make another curve to give a slightly Roman-nosed appearance to the head. Facing the dog again, round the head from side to side always keeping in mind that you want an unbroken line from nose to crown, a balance between back skull and muzzle rather than a heavier back skull and snipey muzzle.

Be careful to trim a little bit at a time, especially in the area of the eye. Unless the dog is required to have hair trimmed out around the eyes for the purpose of working in obedience or field work, error here on the side of a little too much hair, rather than too little, or you will lose the desirable small eye that gives the Bedlington Terrier breed so much appeal. My final step is to trim the slight curve from the crown of the head to the point beyond the shoulders, making sure there is an arch to the neck and blending in the mane with the sides of the neck.

When you think that you are through, again have someone move the Bedlington Terier or let him walk around and observe him for a while to make certain that all the parts seem to fit together properly. Especially check the topline for correct placement of the arch. Check the hocks and elbows to make sure you have done your best to complement his movement. Check the head to correct any tendency to add "walnuts" in the cheeks (you know- that squirrel look) or lumps behind the ears. I know after all this work on your part it will be difficult to believe that there is not a more handsome Bedlington Terier anywhere on earth and "win or lose" that's the way it should be.
