Riplington Terriers have moved.

moving and settling into our new home, we
haven't attended many shows recently but
are looking forward to next year!

won the RBCC at Bournemouth Championship Show

At National Terrier, with Tom H Johnston judging, a successful day was achieved even if we did not actually attend the show ourselves.
Congratulations should go to Phil March who was attending his first championship show with Homstar Fergus

February 2009
We were very pleased to discover that Cola
(Ch Alncroft Tribute to Riplington)
was Dog World's and the Parson Russell Terrier Club's
Top Parson Russell Bitch in 2008. We really can't thank
Kate Smith and Michaela Moon (her breeders)
enough for letting us have such a lovely girl.
