Welcome to First Class Bassets and Bedlingtons!

Welcome to First Class Bassets and Bedlingtons!
We (Jackie Fogel and Tom Rich) are AKC Breeders of Merit, and have consistently bred top-ranked Bedlington Terriers since 1995 and Basset Hounds since 1971.
No other bedlington breeder in the country can claim the same successes we have had in AKC conformation competitions. We have finished more than 50 champions, and our GCh Versailles of Celtic Odyssey was Top Producing dog in both 2010 and 2012. We are proudly foundationed on the Willow Wind bloodline bred by David Ramsey. We are the only breeders authorized to incorporate the Willow Wind name into the name of our dogs.
Though we had much success with our early basset hounds (we have finished more than 60 champions), in 2002 we changed direction to begin breeding only good whelping mothers. We used our original Tal-E-Ho lines crossed with Sanchu and Stoneybluff - then bred to 2 outstanding Foxglen dogs. The result has been sound, healthy, good-whelping beautiful dogs.
If you are looking for the best in temperament and show quality, we are your breeders of choice. If you are looking for sound, beautiful well-mannered pets, we are your breeder of choice!
