We are a small boutique kennel (by international standards) based in Sydney, dedicated to breeding Bedlington Terriers true to type, with correct structure, soundness, and movement. This philosophy is consistently reflected in our very strong and successful show results.
Our breeding program incorporates some of the finest bloodlines available, including leading Australian lineage and European lines. Notably, our program includes descendants of Multi CH Metti Surprise at Glare, the No. 1 winning Russian/European champion and Best in Show winner at the World Dog Show 2022. We are proud to have both a son and a daughter from this dog, from two separate litters with different dams.
Over the past decade, we have imported six dogs into Australia, along with multiple semen imports. Having closely observed the effects of inbreeding within the Australian population, we strongly believe in the importance of introducing new blood. However, these decisions are made with care and intent—new lines must complement and strengthen our existing stock. While line breeding has its place, it must be approached with balance and restraint.
We are the only Bedlington Terrier kennel in Australia to have taken dogs to Europe and competed successfully at the World Dog Shows. We are also proud to have bred an Australian dog that has achieved both Irish and English Champion titles. Assessing our dogs against international competition provides a valuable and honest benchmark for our breeding program.
We are incredibly fortunate to have formed a close friendship with Elena Pykhtar of L’End Show Kennels, and we are deeply grateful for her ongoing guidance and support, as well as the exceptional work she has put into Melody.
As we breed selectively and with purpose, all puppies are raised in our home environment and are well socialised from an early age. Our puppies are confident, happy, friendly, and outgoing. Every puppy is microchipped, vaccinated, and DNA tested.
We are deeply committed to this versatile, agile, and graceful breed. All funds generated from puppy sales are reinvested back into the breed. The future of Bedlington Terriers in Australia matters greatly to us, which is why we seek guidance only from reputable and ethical kennels.
We have never bred an unregistered litter and do not allow our dogs to be used for backyard breeding. The welfare of our dogs and puppies is paramount. While this should be standard practice for registered breeders, unfortunately it is not always the case. We strongly encourage prospective owners to do their homework when selecting a breeder.
