Welcome!  Celebrating 49 years of the Bedeslea kennel
 

Known in recent decades for Spinoni in the UK, this small, hobby kennel was established in 1977, initially focused on the training, showing and breeding of both Labrador and Golden Retrievers. 

"I discovered the beauty of the Spinone in 1986 and enjoyed the years that followed, working towards the 'complete' Spinone - a dog with the expression, physical shape, hunting ability and temperament outlined in the Breed Standards.  A number of champions carry this affix and some of the most prominent kennels in the UK were founded on Bedeslea dogs - Hastabbi, Jaspins, Italix in the UK and Venticalmi and Braschini in the USA, to name but a few.  Please browse through the early pages to see the story of my dogs and learn more of this lovely breed". (Carolyn Adkins-Fry)

"Tango (Timtaurn Two To Tango With B.) the Lagotto joined us in 2016 and the party began! She achieved the Our Dogs Top Lagotto for 2017 and completed 2025 with three more Rally titles - RN RA and RE (under AKC) to add to her RKC R4Ex title. At 10, she still has more to give I'm sure! 'Thank you, Ann (Timtaurn)!' 

2022 saw the arrival from the United States of PRADA DELLA FINO TO BEDESLEA. Co-owned with Victoria Norbury of the Heartbury Pointers, (who now also shares this kennel affix), Prada was to be a new start for the kennel and she has not disappointed us, with her consistent championship show wins since 2023 (see her personal page), and in 2024 she produced a wonderful 'Pradalini' litter. Victoria retained BEDESLEA PRADASPHERE JW (1CC) - Diva and several of her siblings have made history. We are extremely proud of them all! 2026 unfolds and we are now delighted to introduce Prada's 'Bonfire Night' litter!  Exciting times!"
