2026 – A Landmark Year for Fioralainn
In 2026, we made history as the only Australian Bedlington Terrier kennel to win Best of Breed at Crufts and Best of Breed at the UK National Terrier Show. This is an extraordinary achievement on the world stage and firmly establishes our breeding program among the very best internationally.
We are responsible breeders of Bedlington Terriers based in Sydney, Australia, dedicated to breeding and exhibiting high-quality Bedlington's with a strong focus on temperament, conformation, and long-term structural soundness.
We are exceptionally proud to have bred Vice World Winner 2020, World Winner 2019 & 2018, European Winner 2018 and Junior World Winner 2017 – Fioralainn Russian Melody, who resides with the renowned L’End Show Kennel in St Petersburg, Russia. Our results, both nationally and internationally, reflect our ongoing commitment to excellence in the breed.
We are the only Australian Bedlington Terrier kennel to have achieved World Winner and English and Irish Champion titles with homebred dogs. We are also the only Australian kennel to have bred a Bedlington Terrier that has won Best in Show at a UK Bedlington Terrier specialty and gone on to successfully compete at Crufts. These achievements are the result of years of careful planning, dedication, and a genuine passion for the breed.
We are strong advocates for maintaining genetic diversity. With Australia’s limited Bedlington Terrier gene pool, we are among the few kennels that consistently import dogs and semen to strengthen bloodlines. We encourage all prospective puppy buyers to ask breeders when new blood has been introduced and to review pedigrees carefully to understand any level of line-breeding.
We are registered with Dogs NSW and are always happy to share our knowledge and experience.
If you have any questions about Bedlington Terriers—or “Beddies”—please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

November 2026
November already… where has this year gone?
We have exciting news to share in th next few weeks!! Watch this space.
I’m off to Poland soon to judge terriers, and I’m especially looking forward to seeing the Bedlington Terriers. One of the things I enjoy about judging overseas is getting to see how the breed is developing in other countries.
I’ve also got an exciting cruise planned for May 2027, which is around when I’d expect one of our best girls to come into season again. When she came into season recently, I decided to bring our planned 2027 litter forward. We’re hopeful the transcervical insemination (TCI) was successful. If she’s in whelp, we expect puppies between 29 December 2026 and 2 January 2027.
This is the only litter we have planned. There’ll be no further Fioralainn litters in 2027. We’re well and truly puppied out!
As always, if you have a question about Bedlington Terriers, please feel free to get in touch. Whether you’re looking for a puppy or just getting to know the breed, there’s no such thing as a silly question.
Two questions to ask your Australian Bedlington Terrier breeder
- How long have you been breeding Bedlington Terriers?
- When did you last import new bloodlines into Australia?
