2012 - Our Fiftieth Anniversary Year!
2012 is a very special year for the Brambledale Beardies as it is fifty years since I acquired my first Beardie, from whom all the present-day Brambledales are descended. Here he is at three months old in summer 1962.................
........and just six months later (with my solemn sixteen-year-old self !) after winning his class at Cruft's in February 1963.
The rest of our story can be followed decade by decade in the history pages of this site.
