2018 American Kennel Club Terrier Breeders of the Year
 Gaby Gilbeau & Laurie Zembrzuski - LAMZ Bedlington Terriers - 2018 AKC Terrier Breeders of the Year
Welcome to LAMZ Bedlington Terriers, a partnership between mother-daughter team Laurie Zembrzuski & Gaby Gilbeau! We are both located in Northern Virginia, about an hour west of Washington, D.C.
We have shared our lives with Bedlington Terriers since 2003, competing with our dogs in a wide variety of competition venues, from Conformation to Coursing Ability Tests, Fast CAT, Rally-O, Agility, Scentwork, Earthdog, Barn Hunt and Dock Diving! LAMZ is home to more than 100 AKC Champions, and dogs holding well over 400 titles in Conformation, Performance and Companion events. Additionally, LAMZ Bedlington Terriers have made their way around the globe and have had show ring success and impact on the breed in numerous countries across Europe and Asia. We are incredibly proud to produce well-rounded dogs with the brains and beauty to excel in all venues. We are proud preservation breeders of the Bedlington Terrier, earning the distinctions of being both AKC Breeders of Merit and BTCA Breeders of Distinction. Our puppies are raised in our homes, right with the family, and are well socialized from a very early age around adults, kids, and a variety of other animals. Our goal is always to produce healthy, loving, quality Bedlington Terriers for every venue, whether it be as a family pet or competition partner. All of our dogs are fully health tested to ensure their well-being and happiness for years to come. Please check out our website and feel free to e-mail us if you have any questions!

AKC National Championship (Dec. 2025): We were honored to receive the nod for both Best of Breed in Bedlingtons with Hawking and Best of Variety in Toy Manchester Terriers with Dundee at the 2025 AKC National Championship, held in December in Orlando, Florida. Hawking went on to make the Final Cut of 8 in the Terrier Group! This is the second year in a row that Hawking has received the Best of Breed award at this premier event!

New Champion: Cygnet kicked off 2026, becoming our first new AKC Champion of the new year! She finished with a nice Best of Opposite Sex win over specials for her final points.

Group Placements: Dundee and Hawking started the new year off right where they left off with a pair of Group 2's in West Friendship, Maryland at our first show of 2026!

Puppies: We have one blue male available from our November 2025 litter. We are planning several litters in 2026, and will also have several very special young adult Bedlingtons that will be retiring from our breeding program who will be available throughout the year. Check out the "Puppies" page for developing news over the next few weeks.
