2007-2008

Sandy And Blues Silvia Of Sweden earned her first AKC Major and has a total of 6 points now, after the Harrisburg circuit.

Ashcroft Rogers Tivoli, brother to Sky, is up to 3 majors and 11 points after Harrisburg.

Lambs End Calientita at Ashcroft took WB/BOW/BOS over a top special on the final day of the circuit for her first points.

Ch Wrightwyn's Puttin On The Ritz, my foundation bitch, was awarded the BTCA Brood Bitch award as producer of 8

champions. Cocoa has helped build a very solid foundation of quality at Ashcroft.

February 2009, Ch Ashcroft Wedgewood Summer Sky finished her AKC Championship requirements at the Monticello KC show.

The next day brother Ashcroft Rogers Tivoli got a 3 point major to start his show career.

January 2009 Sky was WB/BOW for another point in MD, she needs a single and a major to finish her championship.

December 2008 - I did it, I ventured back into the show ring with Ashcroft Wedgewood Summer Sky. Sky is a real rough

neck outside in the big yard, and she has some funny dark spots to prove it. The judges made note of my "patchwork"

Bedlington by giving her BOW/BOS two days in Bethlehem, PA - and over a top ranked bitch special on Saturday at that!

I managed a fast walk on a flat, even surface. We'll see what the summer brings when the shows move out onto grass.

At the same shows, Ashcroft Orion was WD both days for three points - he's doing very well for owners Karen and Al Miller.

And Congratulations go to owners Julianne & Ed Steele, co-owners Kay & Dick Kraft, for Ch Boardwalk Bling Bling's sweep

of the AKC/Eukanuba circuit in California. Bling is by Ch Ashcroft Sangeo Santana, aka 'Piper', the sire of my one week old

Vicky has arrived... daughter of Ashcroft Lucky American Dream and Toolbox The Bachelor, Sandy And Blues Silvia Of Sweden

arrived in early October to begin her life here in the USA. She's an adorable girl that I selected on my visit with the Lidsell

family (Sandy And Blues Bedlington Terriers), and she's fitting in very nicely. Thanks to Malin Eriksson who reminded me how

My total knee replacement surgery went well, and I'm home recovering. The doctors say it will be some time before

I'm trotting around a show ring again, but I am enjoying the break, and hope to return with renewed enthusiasm when

I had a wonderful trip to Sweden for The World Show and circuit shows. Magic performed beautifully, winning the Reserve

Certificate at the National Terrier Show. I had an opportunity to see some really lovely Bedlingtons from all over the

world. These pics of Magic were taken at Sweden's National Terrier Show, a Terrier Specialty held the Wednesday

Pictured below is Sandy And Blues Silvia of Sweden, who I hope will come to the USA in the early fall of this year.

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.

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
