Welcome to ASHCROFT Bedlington Terriers, on 4.4 rolling acres in Honey Brook, Pennsylvania. Formerly of Clifton, New Jersey, this move gives the dogs much more room to play.

Home of champion and companion Bedlington Terriers since 2000. I have owned and competed with pure bred dogs since 1982. I had several champion and obedience titled Borzoi between 1982 and 1999. When I had to change to a smaller breed, the Bedlington Terrier was an easy choice. I have applied all my acquired knowledge and experience to purchasing and breeding top quality competitors and healthy companions.

Recent  News  Aug 21, Ch Ashcroft Orion earned his first Agility leg at his second trial - congratulations Al & Karen!

At the August Harrisburg PA conformation shows, new co-owner Kim McCormick showed her first Bedlington, Ashcroft Emma,

to BOB over specials for her 2nd major in 2 weekends out. Emma has 9 points - both majors - toward her championship. Way to

go Kim!  Earlier in the month, Marquis was BOB both days in Bloomsburg PA, he needs a single point to finish.

I have a lovely, sweet youngster that I'd like to co-own, so she could be shown and possibly bred in the future. If that sort of

arrangement interests you, please give me a call. I'd be happy to let you speak with someone I have a dog with in the same type

situation, so you can get a feel for how I am to work with.

We had a very successful circuit in West Springfield, MA early July. Ashcroft Talk Of The Town (Marquis) was BOB

for a 4 point major, and picked up an additional three singles as well. Lambs End Calientita At Ashcroft took her

first major win handled by Gaby Gilbeau of LAMZ bedlingtons . In addition, young Ashcroft Emma, out for the first

time, was BOB over specials for a 5 point major win. Emma also won over her new co-owner, Kim McCormick.

June 26 Ch Ashcroft Do U Believe In Magic earned her first Jr Earthdog leg. She also qualified in IQ both days of

the weekend. The second day in JR her brains got the better of her instinct. She looked into the tunnel, looked up and saw the judge

standing in front of her. She KNOWS that's who has those wonderful smelly rats - so she went up, over the top of the tunnels to the

judge. She did do the tunnel and work the rats after being "shooed" away, but her time was too long for a qualifying run. Savanna

also ran another qualifying Senior leg.

June 5-6 Ashcroft Sangeo Savanna earned her Senior Earthdog title with 3 qualifying runs in 3 attempts. Savanna

is the first Ashcroft bred dog to earn Earthdog titles, and she sets a high standard to follow. Congratulations to owners Karen and

Al, who hope to work toward her Masters title. As an aside, Savanna is 7 years old, and only started training in 2009.

Crosswicks Farm in Crosswicks, NJ (just off exit 7 of the NJ Tpk) is the site for many earth dog activities during the year. The

New Jersey Beanfield Earthdog Club (NJBEC) website will have a calendar of events. Each Memorial Day weekend, they hold a

training day and a fun day for earth dog enthusiasts. In May 2010, a few Bedlington Terrier folks got together to have some fun

with their dogs.

April 17, 2010 Harrisburg, PA, Ashcroft Talk Of The Town (Marquis) was Best of Breed for 2 more points. May 8th in Bucks Cty

saw his first major win.

Ashcroft Talk Of The Town, Marquis, was WD at just over a year old in West Friendship, MD and Wildwood NJ.

Callie, Lambs End Calientita At Ashcroft was Best Of Breed in West Friendship, MD.

September 27, 2009 my lovely import "Vicky" became new Champion Sandy And Blues Silvia Of Sweden. Named for the current

and much loved Queen of Sweden, Vicky is a lovely bitch with an Ashcroft dam, and a Swedish sire who goes back to some

outstanding English dogs. My sincere thanks to the Lidsell family of Sweden for letting me bring her here, and especially to

Victoria Lidsell, who takes such loving care of her dam Elvira.

I am THRILLED to announce the first Ashcroft-bred dog with an Earth Dog title. Karen and Al Miller's lovely sandy female

Ashcroft Sangeo Savanna JE completed the requirements for an AKC junior earth dog title 10/30/09. Their younger dog,

Ch Ashcroft Orion is right on her heels with one leg toward his title. They also competed in an AWTA trial and BOTH earned

their Certificate of Gameness! Orion and Savanna represented the breed at the AKC Meet The Breeds event in NYC in the

breed booth and at the earth dog demonstration.  

Roger finished his AKC championship with 3 majors. Now CH Ashcroft Rogers Tivoli, his first litter is on the

ground here at Ashcroft.

May 23-24 2009 a group of Bedlington folks went earth dogging at Crosswicks farm in NJ. It was great fun - pictures here.

New Ch Ashcroft Orion finished with style and a major win during the Harrisburg PA circuit.
