Rothbury was such a fanatical adherent of the breed that the name existed until 1825. The dog to which the name Bedlington Terrier was applied was Piper Ainsley, owned by Joseph Ainsley of Bedlington. This dog Piper went against the badger for the first time when he was only 8 months old, but even when he was old, toothless, and almost blind, he still participated in the hunt along with young dogs, setting an example.
