Second Annual BAD Awards Dinner

13 October 2000 at the BCCA National Specialty

Oconomowoc, Wisconsin


BAD at the Specialty

If there is one thing the BAD folk like to do, it's partying! All year long I looked forward to sharing a suite with my Texas buddies Karen Barratt and Ann Chandoha and their four beautiful Beardies, Arbi, Boo!, Jet and Budweiser! Together we enjoyed many evening escapades, including buying hallowe'en costumes for the BAD dinner (Ann was particularly charming in pig tail and freckles), singing outrageously, and celebrating Jet's MX.

The Agility Trial was enormously successful, with 26 out of the 42 Beardies qualifying. The lovely fall setting with geese flying overhead and swans swimming in the nearby lake was picture perfect!

Qualifiers in Excellent B

Beth Canner, Libby Myers-Buhite, Judge Jean Munger, Lisa Humm, Jan Norikane-Maggie, Charles Gibson-Mikie

There was great joy at the BAD Dinner, especially for our retired Beardies, as Certificates of Recognition, designed by Gretchen Blackburn, and gifts, designed by Val Maloney, were given out. All of us are grateful to Val for her lovely hand-painted pins of the BAD Logo. Christiana Taylor expresses the sentiment well: "I absolutely adore my award, and will wear it with pride."

I was especially touched by the Birthday wishes at the BAD dinner and Doug Klein's lovely tribute: "Even though the dogs, trials, and ring competition were great to watch; even though the parade of veterans and rescue parade brought tears to my eyes, making me proud to be a part of the beardie family, one of the best moments of the whole specialty was giving you a standing ovation at the BAD dinner. We can't thank you enough for founding this group, guiding the BAD Website to its high level of quality, and keeping it there for so long."

As Best of Breed was drawing to a close on Sunday, Beth Canner told me that Charles Gibson needed to see me immediately. Much to my surprise Charles greeted us guitar in hand and regaled Ann Krafcheck, Beth Canner, and me with a fabulously funny concert! I kept wishing that more of the Agility folk could have heard Charles sing, since this was one of the best, most relaxing moments of the entire Specialty! Charles is a wonderful guitar player! I knew that he worked with strings for a living (tuning pianos) but was totally unprepared for his level of artistry on the guitar. He had composed music for both Tasha and Drake with agility themes and had prepared an introduction for Darthe Jennings' "Rainbow Bridge Song." On the spot we named him Entertainment Chair for Specialty 2001. Beth Canner is planning an entire day of Agility for that event, including the Trial, Agility Games, the BAD Dinner, and Agility Entertainment.

At the Awards Dinner on Sunday night Karen Barratt, Agility Co-Chair, Beth Canner, our first BCCA Agility Chair, and I gave out the Denia Award to a delighted Liz Cox and Lucy for her outstanding performance in Standard Agility. We also presented the Ryan Awards for Jumps with Weaves, the Standard Certificates, and the Register of Merit Awards. I was thrilled with the Versatility Excellent Award for Skyedance and the Open Standard Agility Award for Caper. The Specialty was a happy time of sharing with all of you and I will hold many vivid memories!


BAD Thankyous!
