Bounce & BBQ News!

Our annual Bounce & BBQ is scheduled for Saturday, July 13. A short while ago, we rasied a question on the BeardieMainiacs email list: Do you want to keep the July date, move it to August, or have two Bounces this year? We received 2 responses, but would like to know what everybody thinks! Let us know.

June Specialty and Supported Entry at Ladies’, June 4-5, 2022

April 7, 2022 /

Great news! The Premium List is available for our Specialty and Supported Entry (hosted under the BCCA umbrella) at the Ladies’ Dog Club shows.

Here’s the link to the Premium List.

BCCME Specialty at Ladies’, June 5-6

April 20, 2021 /

The show must go on!

We’ve just had word that the Ladies’ Dog Club show will take place in the usual location, on June 5 & 6, 2021. Please plan to join us!

Because of COVID restrictions and AKC rules, we won’t have our Party Tent this year. We’re still trying to figure out what we can do about food, but the AKC rules still say that you must eave if you don’t win your class — so we realy won’t be able to socialize very much at the site anyway. Please plan to wear masks and adhere to their social distancing guidelines. More details will likely be in the Premium List, when it comes out.

For our Saturday Specialty, Pat Colombo (Burlesque) will judge Sweeps and Veteran Sweeps. Bob Lamm (Raintree) will judge Regular Classes and also the NOHS Herding Group. There will not be a 4-6 month Beginner Puppy class at the show this year.

On Sunday, Joe Reno will judge our Supported Entry.

MB-F is the super, www.infodog.com. Closing date is noontime on May 19. Here’s a link to the premium list.

NOTE: This year, the Ladies’ shows are limited entry shows, with a maximum number of 1250 dogs per day. Entries open on April 22. If you’re thinking of coming to the show, better enter soon!

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to have spectators at the show this year — plus we won’t be able to have the buffet lunch and raffle in the party tent. Plan to groom at your car, since we probably won’t have a groomng tent either.

Happy Spring, Mainiacs!

Hi Folks!

I hope you’ve all been keeping safe and well. Now that we’re emerging from winter hibernation and from the pandemic lockdown, it’s time to talk about what 2021 brings for BCCME.

The Board met this afternoon via Zoom to discuss our events. Here’s what’s going on:

  1. The May shows in Cumberland, ME have been canceled.
  2. It took a while for the official word to come from the town, but the Ladies’ Dog Club shows in Wrentham — where we hold our regional Specialty — *will* be taking place on June 5 and 6. The show format will be drastically stripped down from previous years: no party tent, no lunches, no spectators. If you don’t win your class, leave. (Sounds like a blast, right?) Anyway, we’re still holding the event. Pat Colombo is our Saturday Sweeps judge, Bob Lamm will judge regular classes. Our Sunday judge is (I think) Jon Cole. Entries will open mid-May, and MB-F is the super.
  3. The June shows in Cumberland *will* take place on June 24-27 at the Cumberland Fairgrounds. We have supported entries on Saturday and Sunday. MB-F s the super for that show as well.
  4. The event you’ve all been waiting for: The BCCME Bounce & BBQ! Tentative date is Saturday, July 10 from 12 noon – 4 PM. We’re still figuring out the logistics, such as whether people should bring their own picnic lunches. Sme of us will have been vaccinated by then and some of us won’t be yet, so we’ll have to mask and distance ourselves — but we’ll still be able to get together. Anyway, the Bounce will take place at Val’s new digs in Westbrook.

We’ll send more information as we get it. In the meantime, why don’t you folks tell us how you’ve been? We can’t wait to see you!

Judging Programs for Ladies’

May 30, 2019 /

Here they are:

Saturday
Sunday

We apologize for the suck-tastic ring times, but they were much worse before the show chair argued on our behalf. Most of the time, we get our requested late-morning time, but this year, we have a popular judge and requested a popular ring time. We’ll have a blast anyway!

Before we show, we’ll have finger foods and munchies in the party tent. After we show, we’ll bring out the late lunch buffet and hold the raffle. Stick around!

Premium List Available for the BCCME Specialty at Ladies’

Tish Pollock (Runningmtn Beardies) will be our Sweeps judge, and Dana Cline will judge Regular Classes.
