We have made this website so that you can share our lives, see our pictures and leave a message in our guestbook. Hopefully you will enjoy our dogs as much as we do. Ailesbury Kennels was founded by my parents Fred and Ann Cuthbert over fifty years ago. My husband Colin and I are delighted to be able to carry on with this very successful kennel name. Over the years we have had many champions at our kennel in breeds such as Afghan Hounds Borzoi's Old English Sheepdog's Skye Terrier's Deerhounds and Whippets of course.
At the age of seven my parents bought me my first Whippet Ailesbury Peach Blossom and I have had a Whippet around the house ever since. As a founder member of the Junior Handler's Assoc in Ireland I have enjoyed many years around the breed rings as well as taking part in junior handling. In the early eighties I was runner up junior handler of the year with my Whippet Shillelagh Lady Ashe. It only seems like yesterday. After many years in the breed we are delighted to be the very proud owners of Irelands top winning Whippet for the past six years GB IR and INT Ch Collooney Hes The One. Brad has also been top sight hound for three year's and was runner up at the Irish Show Dog Of The Year final in 07.He is also Irelands top showdog all beeds for 2010. Brad has three CC's, two with best of breed and three reserve CC's. One of his reserve CC's being at Crufts 2009 and holds the title of Uk Top Whippet stud dog for 2011. Brad's son Indy IR Ch Collooney thas the one also made a little bit of history by becoming the very first IKC junior champion of champion's in 2008.Other members of our whippet show team include IR Ch Kellyvale kissing a fool , Courthill coin of the realm (jun ch),Ailesbury ghost king and Courthill catch a shadow. We also show Borzoi and Skye terrier at our kennels.
We have had so much fun over the year's with our dog's and we are looking forward to many more. We hope you enjoy our site!!
