Thanks to Lori Weinberg who sent a lovely write-up of her experiences with Rocky and to Patti Bott for sharing her experience of working at the event. Pat Coreris was aglow with accounts this weekend at the Sacramento trials and helped us feel in contact with the event, hearing about the Beardies and the Northern California handlers who attended.
Again, congratulations to Linda and Bailey, Lori and Rocky, Sarah and Wizzie, Jeff with Jax and Zoom, Karen with Jet and Bud, and Jill Scarborough and Jack, our top eight Invitees!
Highs In Trial - Jack Buhite and Caper
"The first all breed agility trial held by the BCCA was August 25, 26 and 27, 2006. This 3 day trail was held in a horse arena at Buckeye Ranch in Grove City, Ohio. This location is on the south side of Columbus, Ohio. Our 2 judges, Blair Kelly and Sherry Porter, each judged about 300 runs per day. Their courses were designed for the beardies to run and show their talents. The course flow and the ideal dirt footing saw some very fast times throughout the weekend.
Beardies and their owners in attendance were:
Maryann Szalka with Cowboy, Chase and Checkers
Walt Earnst and Rosie Schroeder with Mickie
Bobbie and Bill Raguse with Kira
Jan and Glen Norikane with Gina
Diane and Dina Lipman with Abbey and Paige
Jeff and Sharon Ipser with Jax, Zoom, Lizzee and Libbee
Barb Erway with Bella
The beardies made their presence known early in the trial. Excellent Standard on Friday saw Kira and Zoom taking second and fourth place in a large 20" class. In fact, the only person to finish in front of Bobbie and Kira was Linda Mecklenburg, an AKC world team member. With that performance, Kira and Bobbie earned the High In Trial. A large HIT ribbon and beardie note cards and towels were their prizes. In addition to placements rosettes, beardie placement rosettes for each class ran were awarded. All of the other beardies and owners followed Kira's lead by being successful in their classes. Almost every beardie got a Q during the weekend. Besides Kira and Zoom, Paige, Lizzee and Bella got placements in their classes during the weekendPaige and Bella got their first Excellent legs during the weekend. This was Barb Erway's first agility trial with other beardies in attendance. Barb trials in Kentucky. We all welcomed Barb and her rescue neardie, Bella.
Saturday night, we took the judges out to dinner. We had good food and conversation. Both judges were very interested in our breed and asked questions concerning origination, health issues, club size and by-laws. They were also impressed with our Beardie Camp program.
I want to thank the other members of the trail committee Maryann, Diane, Rosie and Walt. I couldn't have done it without your participation.
We're going to hold another all breed agility trial February 17 and 18, 2007 in the same location. We hope to see you there."

Hi All,
Just a note to congratulate the winners of our Beardie High in Jumpers and Standard winners from the NCBCC trial this weekend. We actually did the HIJ and HIS awards each day of the trial this time, instead of over the whole weekend or just on one of the days.
On Saturday the winners were...
Standard
Sprite (Moonstone Kindred Spirit) and Beth Kortze -
with an awesome run where I think he got something like 13 MACH points and fifth place (I think)
Jumpers
Streaker (Oakengates Winning Streak) and Terry Johnson -
with a fantasic Novice JWW run.
On Sunday
Standard
No winner, but the trophy will carry over to next year
Jumpers
Sprite (Moonstone Kindred Spirit) and Beth Kortze.
So, now the Kortze house has a matching pair.
Val Maloney painted the beardie themed agility
trophies for us, and they were wonderful! She also donated the
shipping which allowed us to stay under budget and do the awards
both days. Everyone thought
they were great and I'm hoping we'll be able to have them again
next year.
It was our first Memorial Day trial and was very exciting to not have to worry about bitter cold, wind (indoors), torrential rain, mud, or any of the other things we've had to worry about at our November trials in the past. We're optimistic that we've finally found a home for our trial where we can be year-over-year. Given that we've had to move our site for various reasons for the last five trials. We had great judges and they built very nice courses for us. It was a little hot for beardies by Sunday afternoon.
We had help from a couple of beardie agility people who aren't even members of our club, but chose to make the journey to pitch in. We're very thankful to have such BAD people. Thanks Jenny Scheytt, and Jeremy and Heather Gahres. We also had great support from members of our agility community who helped us tremendously the day of the trial and from a couple of our club members, Beth Jacob, Rick Kortze and Jan Vallone come to mind. Our committe put in a lot of work and hours planning the event and bringing it to life, Tony Vallone, Terry Johnson, Sandy McDonald, Beth Kortze and myself.
Overall it was a great trial and we have several things that we're planning to do next year to make it even better.
Take care,
Casey Minner
Val's work on our Trophies was really nice... They were slate tiles with a beardie doing agility (weaves or jumps). One of these days we'll win one of those trophies although no doubt it will take us some time... Stats for Kip and I for Spring 2006 will be forthcoming but aren't much to brag about with so much time taken up with our first litter in five years. Agility seemed to take a back seat this year but for good reason, I think!
Beth and Sprite for the most part only trial one weekend day and usually not more than a couple weekends a month and are a such a fun team to watch --kudos for earning back to back trophies. I'm really proud of Beth and her dedication. She retrained some really good contacts last summer which are paying off big time. Terry and Streaker are having a lot of fun with their agility debut this spring and I bet that won't be their only trophy.
The indoor horse arena is home to several local club's trials and a popular venue. But wouldn't you know it, it was the HOTTEST Memorial day since 1991!
"We're very thankful to have such BAD people. Thanks Jenny Scheytt, and Jeremy and Heather Gahres."
I second that thanks. Only thing is, we didn't get to see Heather run agility in her tutu with Elton -- she and Jere came down from PA to socialize and work their butts off in the heat and humidity. Jenny in addition to coming from Michigan to work also got to meet and interview a couple of blue beardie boys - as potential agility teammates!
The trial weekend ended on a relaxing note when Sheila, Bracey and Cheney joined the majority of the committee and our BAD helpers for a BBQ and bounce. Sheila came directly from her NADAC Club's NADAC Trial and painted vivid word pictures of Bracey's contact challenges and kept us in stitches. Combining a mini FL Beardie Agility Camp reunion with the conclusion of the trial was the perfect way to end Agility for the Spring!
As always for me, Agility is not about stats but about friends.
Sandy McDonald
I also wanted to send out congrats to the NCBCC trial beardie winners. There were many great beardie runs over the weekend. I so enjoyed coming down to the trial, but I did miss running my girls in the company of great people, beardies, judges and courses. It was fun to see old friends and meet some new ones too. The trophies they won were very nice too bad I wasn't able to smuggle the remaining one home to Michigan with me!!
I have to say the NCBCC puts on a good trial and I was glad to be able to help out. Even in the hot weather I still had a good time. Special thanks to Sandy and John who put on a great mini-bounce at their house after the trial on Sunday. John cooks up the best hamburgers. It was also great to see Sheila and her yummy desserts too.
I also had the oppurtunity to stay with the Minner family including Heart's 8 puppies (thanks so much Casey). Nothing is cuter than 7 week old beardie puppies. I know there will be several future BAD puppies in that litter including one little boy who will be coming all the way up to Michigan to join my girls and I.
Anyway just wanted to send out a big congrats not only the winners of the trophies, but to the agility commitee who put on a great trial. I only wish I lived closer so I could make it an annual event for me and my beardies.
