Hi Libby,
I really enjoyed the trial and was thrilled the weather was so nice. It is always fun to watch Beardies run with their gorgeous long coats. It was great that Caper had such a good day. I have seen so many of his runs over the years when he has just missed by one or two bars. He was due for his day of glory.
Thanks again for inviting me.
Cindy
After nearly six solid weeks of rain, warm sunshine dried the fields and lifted our spirits for our Sixth Annual Northern California Bearded Collie Fanciers Regional Specialty. Just the weekend before at the USDAA trial, the Dixon May Fairgrounds had huge puddles of water and we had been slogging through mud and straw to reach our set-ups and rings. This week, however, the lawns were newly mowed and smooth, perfect for our week's events.
As usual, a festive spirit reigned on Wednesday as Sharon Prassa, Jack Buhite, Pam Harris, Jana Dozet, Rhonda Hardy and Deb Thomas measured the field, pounded the stakes, and cordoned off our Obedience, Rally, and Agility rings. We adjourned along with Carl Widell, who had come to help, and Rhonda's husband to our favorite dinner spot, Bud's Pub, for roast beef and lemon sautéed shrimp, amongst other goodies, and to catch up with each other.
On Thursday morning we gathered early for our Obedience and Rally trials. Judge Alvin Eng was utterly charming to work with and to trial under. Three had entered the Obedience Trial and fourteen had entered Rally.

After Rally, we all pitched in and quickly built our Excellent Standard agility course. Twenty-one had entered but several had to cancel due to injuries or bitches in season. A few others stayed home, not expecting a week of sunshine to continue. We were fortunate here as the obedience/rally/agility day was perfect and the sweeps/specialty day, though mostly overcast had only a few minutes of sprinkles. Saturday was warm and sunny and I don't yet know what tomorrow holds.
Our judge, Cindy Macklin, built beautiful courses for us.

Ceilidh's Breeder, Eileen Dinneen judged Sweepstakes, and it was a delight to see her again. It was fun to watch her go over each Beardie very carefully and with good humor and to make her decisions in a timely manner. Both Eileen and Colleen Stoate, our Australian Specialty judge, made careful notes for their write-ups. Eileen took a photo of each Beardie and I saw Colleen videotaping the Beardies today at the supported entry.
Eileen chose Sandy Remel's Aellen Tyso's Full Monty as her Best in Sweeps puppy. Barb Jones and Brenda Cox's Harvest Midnight Melody took Best Opposite. Karen Ryder and Ruth Colavecchio's Ch SRV-Aellen Blue Denim was Best Veteran and Pat Coreris and Pamela Harris' Ch MACH Spindrift William Rikker, CDX, RA, OAP, OJP, PT, took best Opposite.

We are already looking forward to next year and I am personally delighted that my Skye's son Caper earned three firsts and two Highs in Trial on Thursday and his daughter Emma earned Best Of Breed on Sunday!
We're home from a fun day of obedience, rally and agility! I just wanted to be the first to congratulate Jack Buhite and Caper on their amazing runs! Jack and Caper took High in Trial Standard AND High in Trial JWW - way to go, guys!!! -Molly McNamara
Congrats to ALL the winners ! Sounds like everyone had a wonderful time; and thanks for such a comprehensive report, Libby. It is hard to be a participant, AND a roving reporter :-) -Elaine Robinson
Congratulations on a wonderful show. We had a great time and the weather was perfect. Thanks again for everything, -Carole Desmond
