Home of the BeardieMainiacs!
Our 2023 events are here, so check them out on our Events page.
This doesn’t have to be the complete and exhaustive list, however. If any member would like to host an event, just say the word. The Board will be happy to lend whatever suport you might need, including refreshments, paperwork, or whatever you’ll need to host a successful event.
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.
For all the details about our judges, deadline dates, and other things, come visit our event page.
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.
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:
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!
Here they are:
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!
