Bedlington Terriers have a moderate to above-average barking tendency. They usually bark to alert their owners to new people, noises, or other stimuli but are not generally considered excessive barkers. Early training and socialisation can help manage any excessive barking tendencies, making barking behaviour more manageable.

Bedlington Terriers are generally healthy with an average lifespan of 11 to 16 years, but like many purebred dogs, they can be predisposed to certain genetic health issues. Prospective owners should seek reputable breeders who perform health screenings and be prepared for routine veterinary care and grooming maintenance to keep the dog healthy and comfortable.
