Here's a little background on the Bedlingtons of Mayberry

Ch Bonnybrook's All About Me

Ollie was bred by Dennis and Kristen Corash (Bonnybrook).  He finished his championship at 13 months of age, with many of his points coming over specials.  A short three months after earning his championship Ollie went Best of Breed at the National Floating Specialty in St. Louis, MO.  He gained his first group placement, a Group 2, that same day.  A few months later Ollie took a Group 1 at the Buckhorn Kennel Club show in Fort Collins, CO.  That group win was particularly satisfying as competition was extremely tough.  Ollie was invited to the Eukanuba National Championships in Tampa in January.  He was recognized by the international judge and given an Award of Excellence.  After finishing the year #5 in the breed, Ollie was invited to the Westminster Kennel Club show in February, 2005.

We continue to show Ollie on a bit more selective basis.  We try to attend the national specialties whenever possible. 

Ollie sired a litter in late 2005 with Ch De Hayyim's Adorable Blacksheep Sudor.  The litter of 5 (3 boys, 2 girls) all finished their championships by 18 months of age.  Ollie received the Bedlington Terrier Club of America's Stud Dog award in 2006, in recognition of these achievements. 

Ollie is the foundation stud for Mayberry Bedlingtons.  His wonderful and loving personality along with his superior conformation make him an ideal choice.  He is DNA'd 1,1 for Copper Toxicosis and is an extremely healthy boy.  His eyes are CERF'd on an annual basis and continue to be 'normal'. 

Ch Sandon N Oakhill Andi Mayberry

Andi was bred by Sandy Miles and Foley Harper (Sandon N Oakhill).  We first met Andi at the National Specialty in Louisville, KY in 2006.  Andi was only about 8 weeks old...but we fell in love with her.  She had the potential for being a refined, typey bitch much like her full sister and Best In Specialty winner Ch Sandon N' Oakhill TruBlu and Tarabell.  We are extremely pleased with the way Andi turned out.  She indeed is refined and typey as we had hoped.  She has terrier attitude to spare and is always up for some serious roughhousing.  Andi was a bit slower in maturing than Ollie was, so we waited to begin her show career until she was nearly 13 months old.  She showed us she was indeed ready by going winners bitch 3 out of 4 days and earning a 3 point major her first weekend out.  Seven months later Andi would finish her championship picking up a 5 point major during the National Specialty weekend along the way. 

Andi is the foundation bitch for Mayberry Bedlingtons.  Her first litter, sired by Ollie, was whelped on May 20, 2008.  We are extremely excited about this litter!  Andi is DNA'd 1,1 for Copper Toxicosis and is a healthy and energetic girl.  She is CERF'd annually and is 'normal'.

Ch Elante Chase the Star CD

Chase was our first 'show dog'.  We were complete novices and had much to learn.  Chase made it easy on us by introducing us to the dog show world and later obedience competition.  Chase was a champion by fourteen months of age, picking up two group placements along the way.  However,  Chase was sometimes a bit of a challenge to show as he developed a strong dislike for flying insects, to the point of distraction.  So, to help get him focused on the task at hand we began obedience work with Chase.  He took to obedience readily, finishing at the  top in his obedience class. The instructor urged us to try obedience competition with Chase.  We tried...he liked it...and it was over with in a short amount of time.  In just two weekends of competition Chase earned 3 qualifying scores and thus his Companion Dog (CD) title.  Chase settled into being an easy to show conformation dog, always eager to please.
