Show Dogs Photo GalleryI have had the good fortune to breed some really lovely dogs, and I cannot keep them all myself. If a good quality show home comes along, it only enhances my breeding program and reputation to see that they get a good quality dog to show...

Karen grooms Piper herself, and showed him to Winner's Dog at our National Specialty in 2003. Piper is DNA 1-1 and produced his first litter in 2005.

Ashcroft Lucky American Dream, aka Elvira, lives in Sweden, the cherished pet and show prospect of Viktoria Lidsell. Viktoria chose her during her visit in October 2005 when she showed some of the US entries at our National Specialty and supporting shows. Elvira is DNA 1-1.
We are well all of us. Elvira and Ronja have so much fun together and Rasmus likes to play with her as well. She has been very good for our other dogs and we know that she likes all of us too. She is such a nice and friendly dog to both people and other dogs. We have been at our first three dogshows here in Sweden. For two weeks ago we were at both a national dogshow with an Australian judge and a speciel terrier dog show. Elvira behaved very well. At the national show she got a second prize in the quality for the Australian judge, but got a first prize in quality at the terrier show for a German judge, Mr Siewert Falk-Rüdiger. He liked her very much. You know we get written critiques on our dogs in the Skandinavian countries. The judge wrote as following about Elvira: Very typical expression. Excellent head, eyes and ears. Correct front and hind quarters. Correct topline, excellent deep of breast, very good coat, very good movements.

CH Ashcroft Magic Me At Lamb's End, 'TIMMY', is living with Rebecca and Fiona in California. His show career started in 2007 with a bang. Timmy earned both majors and 9 points in one long weekend with WD, WD/BOW, and then BOB over specials twice at the Sacramento KC shows! He finished his second weekend out, at the Long Beach shows held in conjunction with the Great Western Terrier Association show. Timmy also took Best In Sweeps that weekend. He has two litters on the ground, Timmy is a blue Bedlington Terrier, DNA 1-2.
Timmy thinks that going for walkies on
leash outside in the neighborhood is the best fun ever. He has so much
energy I can hardly keep up with him. I took both dogs for a brisk walk for
a long time and he never ran out of steam. They both crashed when we got
home. To quote Dr.Dodson and Cesar Millan " a tired puppy is a good puppy".
CH Ashcroft Rogers Tivoli - 'ROGER' - lives with Nancy in Pennsylvania. Roger is a blue Bedlington Terrier, DNA 1-1. He is out of Ch Destiny Ashcroft Rocks On by Ch Boardwalk Ticket To The Moon, making him a half brother to Timmy above. Roger finished with 3 majors and now he'll start his obedience and rally career. His first litter is due mid July 2009.
Didn't think I'd have so much to say already!! Roger had a very nice trip home-laid on Corrine's lap and was the perfect gentleman. We arrived home and took him around the yard with Mayzie and Daphne. He immediately took to Mayzie and of course she wants nothing to do with him. He is NOT the least bit shy, and contrary to what we thought the girls were not able to put him into his place. He acted as if he's been here forever! Right now Mayzie is lying on her pillow under the desk and he is on the floor right beside her. May started barking at him and he was barking right back. I am watching them and just want them to each figure out their places in the pecking order. Needless to say Roger is eating QUITE well and very active and alert. He has probably been the easiest puppy to house-train, as he seemed to go out from day 1. I can't believe how responsive he is. When he wants a treat, he comes and immediately sits. We have a tunnel in the basement which they use at puppy kindergarten and he with no hesitation went in it. Many dogs must be coaxed and are afraid of it--not the Dodger. - Nancy
Ch Ashcroft Orion - 'ORION' - lives with Karen and Al in Pennsylvania. Orion is a sandy male Bedlington Terrier, DNA 1-1. He is out of Ashcroft Lucky Penny by Ashcroft Magical Jackson, a brother to Ch Ashcroft Do U Believe In Magic. Ashcroft Orion was WD/BOW in Louisville KY March 13, for a 5 point major during the BTCA National Specialty show circuit. Orion finished his AKC championship in Harrisburg, PA April 2009 with another major win and already has one leg toward his JE title. Agility is next! Orion snoozing with dad Jackson new champion Hi Diane. Orion is doing great! Even Savanna has given in to him. She just couldn’t resist. He’s just too CUTE!! So she invites him to play and then he runs away. He’ll try to play with her then and when she does he runs to me.-Karen
Ashcroft Talk Of The Town - 'MARQUIS' lives in CT with Jay and Darla. Marquis is DNA 1-1, a blue male with outstanding coat, fantastic temperament and lovely movement. He'll be the grooming shop mascot and companion to Theo, Tinsel, Paris and their cats. Marquis is AKC major pointed.
