Bonnybrook Bedlingtons began in the late 1950s, when Dennis Corash’s parents, Peggy and Bob Corash, brought the very first Bedlington Terrier to Colorado. What started as a love for one remarkable dog quickly became a lifelong family passion.

​

Dennis quite literally grew up surrounded by Bedlingtons. By the age of five, he was already stepping into the show ring in the early 1960s. That early start sparked a lifetime commitment to the breed—one that continues today through thoughtful breeding, active participation in dog shows, and dedicated service to breed clubs and canine organizations.

​

Shortly after Dennis and Kristi were married, Dennis gifted Kristi her first Bedlington Terrier. She was instantly captivated. Since the 1980s, they have worked side by side raising, exhibiting, and preserving the breed they both cherish. Together, they have bred more than 75 American Kennel Club Champions—a reflection of their dedication to quality, soundness, and true Bedlington type.

​

Their commitment to excellence has been recognized by both the Bedlington Terrier Club of America, where they are honored as Breeders of Distinction, and the American Kennel Club, which has named them Breeders of Merit.

​

Dennis has given generously of his time to the breed community. He is a past president of the Bedlington Terrier Club of America and remains as a club officer and chairs several committees.  He remains active on the board of the Bedlington Terrier Club of Greater Denver, a club he and Kristi helped establish many years ago.

​

Beyond breed-specific work, Dennis remains active in several respected all breed and terrier organizations, including the Evergreen Colorado Kennel Club, Terry-All Kennel Club, Rocky Mountain All Terrier Club, and serves as a board member of the Group IV Terrier Club of Salt Lake.

A former educator, Dennis is especially passionate about mentoring young handlers. He works with local 4-H clubs teaching showmanship and serves as the Colorado State 4-H Superintendent for Showmanship at the Colorado State Fair—helping to inspire the next generation of responsible dog owners and exhibitors.

​

For Dennis and Kristi, Bonnybrook is more than a kennel name. It represents decades of stewardship, friendship, mentorship, and a deep, enduring love for the Bedlington Terrier.
