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. I return to New Jersey to visit family often.

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.

March 2008: Video clip of Magic at the BTCA National Specialty held in Louisville, KY. I was THRILLED to accept Magic's

plaque from the BTCA for Top Bedlington Terrier, Opposite Sex, Breeder-Owner-Handler 2007. I wasn't paying much

attention at the end of 2007, but her BOB wins put her "over the top" to earn this lovely award.

 

Magic was BOB Saturday March 1 in Secaucus NJ, and Ashcroft Wedgewood Summer Sky was WB/BOW/Best Puppy

and earned a Puppy Group 2. Sunday March 2, Ashcroft Lucky Penny was WB for a point.

January/February 2008:

Magic competed at the Westminster Kennel Club show in Madison Square Garden February 11th. I have attended many

times as a spectator, this was the first time as an exhibitor. Congratulations to the winners, and to all who showed their

beautiful dogs. Streaming video of the Bedlington Terrier breed judging can be seen at www.westminsterkennelclub.org

Ashcroft Wedgewood Summer Sky gets her first major at the Boardwalk KC shows. The other major went to Brady

daughter Allie of Chaps owned by newcomer Fiore Ferrara and family. Allie - before her "show trim" -

Ch Ashcroft Do U Believe In Magic traveled to the "Rose City Classic" shows in Portland, Oregon. She won

Best of Breed 3 days of the 5 day circuit, competing against some lovely specials from that area. We got to meet some

exhibitors I'd never met before, and all were very gracious.

Nov 2007: MAGIC continues her winning ways with three Best of Breed wins on the competitive Maryland show circuit. She

topped that off with a Terrier Group IV placement under judge Mr. Frank Washabaugh against very stiff competition.

She's getting high praise from the judges and her competitors alike.

The Philadelphia KC show circuit consists of 4 days of shows, two of which are  benched, giving the public a great

opportunity to actually meet the breeds and breeders that they see on TV but so seldom in person. Ashcroft dogs

attended all four days. Lia, Ch Ashcroft Hart Of A Lady got her first leg in Rally Obedience! We're VERY PROUD of

the dogs who get titles for more than good looks. Lia is very bright, and worked the rally course with great

enthusiasm. Ch Ashcroft Do U Believe In Magic was BOS one day, and Best of Breed two other days. This was

very exciting as she has just begun her "specials" career. Magic is a joy to show, and while she was exhausted by the

last day, she still put in a lovely performance in the Terrier group.

I am thrilled to announce THREE more Titles for Ashcroft dogs, in one long weekend, and must congratulate the

owners who were so successful with their Ashcroft furkids:

Tisha Palmer handled Hamlet, Ashcroft Quidam RA to his Rally Advanced title with a 93 score and a 2nd place,

cheered on by co-owner Terri Tomola.

Mel Daniels finished Gus' AKC championship with another major win, he's new CH Ashcroft Gents Prefer Blondes.

Ch Ashcroft Gents Prefer Blondes (Gus)

And I finished new CH Ashcroft Do U Believe In Magic with a BOS over a special for a major win.

On top of all that, friends Laurie Zembruski and her daughter Gaby Gilbeau also got the first AKC major win

on Mimi, Ashcroft Ain't Miss Behavin' this same weekend. They've brought Mimi to the point where all she

needs is a major to finish!!

I have to thanks all my friends who are helping me after I hurt my knee this fall. I couldn't get to these shows

without them, and in Mimi's case, credit for the training, grooming and conditioning that are taking her toward

her championship so quickly is all due to the LAMZ Bedlington family.

 

Penny and Jackson are the proud parents of seven puppies. See the Puppies page for pictures

and info about future litters.

 

Laurie Zembrzuski and Gaby Gilbeau of LAMZ Bedlingtons are helping me by showing Mimi, Ashcroft

Ain't Miss Behavin' while they travel the Northeast in their lovely motorhome.

Ashcroft Do U Believe In Magic was RWB at the Montgomery County KC show.

Magic needs a single point to finish. She's had some lovely wins including BOB over top specials

at the prestigious Westchester KC show. 

2007 has been a good year! Check out the accomplishments from earlier in 2007 here
