With a rich history in breeding that dates back to 1997, WURROIT is committed to producing healthy, well-tempered puppies that thrive in family environments.

At WURROIT, the breeding program focuses on maintaining the breed’s integrity while ensuring that each dog is raised in a loving and social atmosphere. The Bedlington Terriers are known for their non-shedding coats, making them suitable for families with allergies. The kennel has successfully produced numerous show champions, with dogs from their lines achieving accolades both locally and internationally. WURROIT’s breeding stock includes a mix of Australian and imported lines, ensuring a diverse gene pool that contributes to the overall health and quality of the puppies.
WURROIT is not just about breeding; it is about fostering a community of dog lovers who appreciate the unique qualities of Bedlington Terriers.
