The 2013 BCCA Nationals at Purina Farms was the perfect place to celebrate the accomplishments of the Beardie Agility community. It was a sight to behold when you get over 70 Bearded Collies at one site playing agility. Can you say high energy? Well that only begins to describe it! On a personal level, I also was able to celebrate with others Blade and my accomplishments over the past year. I know that each one of us works very hard to train and play the sport of agility with our bearded pals. Yes, the first and most important goal is always to have fun. The bonus is the green ribbon, the placement ribbon, the new title, the MACH, being ranked top in breed by AKC, and receiving the top awards from the BCCA. I feel very fortunate that Blade and I have been able to achieve so much. I am over the moon thrilled to have received the High in Jumpers Trophy in honor of Mirage, the Ryan Award for Excellent B JWW and the Diehard Trophy for 2012. A total surprise was being one of four individuals to share the honor of being BAD Member of the Year for 2013. I want to thank the BCCA committee for allowing us to take the perpetual trophies home for the year. I had this lovely photo taken of Blade showing the top BCCA trophies as well as his other accomplishments over the past 18 months. I am hopefully for many more years of fun ahead for Blade and I! - Lori & Blade

FAST is a new AKC titling game. Competition in this game was initiated on January 1, 2007. In order to qualify, a team must accumulate a certain number of points (50 for Novice, 55 for Open, 60 for Excellent) and successfully complete a distance challenge in a fixed amount of time (for 20" dogs, 32 seconds are allowed; preferred competitors get 3 additional seconds). Each obstacle on the course is assigned a point value. The maximum number of points possible is 80; no one attained a perfect score in 2007. Beardies have proved to be quite adept at this fast paced and challenging game of strategy. The number of FAST titles decreased (76 in 2007, the first year of FAST competition vs 51 in 2008).
For each class the average scores have been tabulated; for Excellent B only, the number of legs earned is indicated. The BCCA Agility committee is considering adding FAST awards to the agility program.

Time 2 Beat (T2B), initiated on 1 July 2011, is a combination course of Standard and Jumpers With Weaves. While dogs of any skill level (i.e., novice, open, excellent) are allowed to compete in T2B, to be successful you will need to demonstrate an advanced level of skills.
To earn a T2B title a dog will need 15 Qs and one hundred points. Points are awarded as follows: The first place dog will earn 10 points. All other qualifying dogs with a time that is within 10% of the time of the first place dog will receive 9 points. If a qualifying dog’s time is within 20% of the fastest time (the Time To Beat) they will earn 8 points, and so on all the way down to 90%.

146 Beardies earned a total of 2,487 legs in the Regular, Preferred, FAST and Time2Beat (T2B) classes. Compared to 2011, these numbers represent an 8% decrease in total Beardies earning legs (146 vs 157), but an 8% increase in the total number of legs (2,487 vs 2,283). 109 of the 146 teams accounted for 273 total titles (86 Novice, 64 Open, 49 Excellent, 20 Masters, 17 Championship, 2 TQX, 5 T2B and 30 Lifetime Masters). This represents an 11% increase from 2011 in the number of teams earning titles (109 vs 98) and a 23% increase in the total number of titles earned (273 vs 221). The large percentage increase in the number of titles earned is due in part to the introduction of lifetime awards at the Masters level and the first titles earned in the new game, T2B, this year. Five teams competed at the 7th AKC Agility Invitational in Orlando, FL in December, 2012. Lori Weinberg and Blade (Camerons On The Cutting Edge) were the High Scoring Beadie team. Lori and Blade completed 2 MACHs in 2012. Eight teams have qualified for the AKC National Championships to be held in Tulsa, OK in March, 2013; one team has qualified for the Preferred Nationals competition. Jeff Ipser and Zoom (Wigglesworth Super Sonic) earned the first Beardie MACH14 in May. Glenn Alexander and Morgan (Wynsum Many Splendored Thing) earned the first Beardie T2B title. Competition for this new game began in July, 2011.

The AKC Agility Invitational report lists the top dogs ranked in Agility events and is based on the Top MACH Dog formula (Double Q's x 10) + MACH (Master Agility Championship) points that dogs have earned during the qualifying period. Dogs must have competed and qualified in Regular Excellent B Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes and the top five (5) ranked dogs of each breed will be included on these reports. Qualifying period runs from July 01, 2011 to June 30, 2012.
Top 5 Qualifying Beardies:
Lorie Weinberg's Blade - MACH2 Camerons On The Cutting Edge MXS MJG OF T2B
Karen Barratt's Miller - CH MACH6 Colquhoun's No Time To Relax RN MXG2 MJB3 MXF MFB TQX
Linda Porter's Mika - MACH4 Fox Lane's Mika At Twe Edd Ale MXG2 MJS2 MXF TQX
Andrea Hobe's Colby - MACH2 O'Duinnin Blacker N Coal RN PT MXS MJG NF
Jeff Ipser's Zoom - CH MACH14 Wigglesworth Super Sonic CD RN MXC4 MJS5 NAP NJP MXF MFS TQX
5 Participant Beardies:
1. 390 points - 130.422' - Lorie Weinberg's Blade - MACH2 Camerons On The Cutting Edge MXS MJG OF T2B
2. 390 points - 171.586' - Glenn Alexander's Morgan - CH MACH Wynsum Many Splendored Thing RN PT MXS MJS MXF MFB T2B TQX

5. 295 points - 124.386 - Janice Leverenz' Hops - CH MACH3 Wynsum Captivating Rhythm CDX RAE MXC MJS2 MXF THD
There are no BCCA Awards based on MACH points and 2Qs but AKC does keep track of these and bases breed ratings and qualification for the Invitational on the values. Beardies may be few in number but they are mighty in agility and there is plenty of competition for the five slots to the Invitational in Long Beach, CA. The BCCA award year runs from January 1 to December 31, so these standings may be different than those of the Invitational which runs from July 1- June 30. Jeff Ipser and Zoom (Wigglesworth Super Sonic) earned the most MACH points and 2Qs for 2008.
