| “I think this year’s trial went very well, relaxed and efficient. Yes, the heat was surprising to us all but for the most part People and Pups held up and had a good time. The Club did a wonderful job filling in to work and helping with course building. Always nice to see the host Club handle their responsibilities with enthusiasm and smiles.” | “I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the trial this weekend; if the weather had co-operated a bit, it would have been perfect! The Beardie Teams were great, the comradeship always fabulous, and the Beardies did not even seem to know it was hot; all they wanted to do was play! Thank you so much for taking care of us during this trial. We missed Libby's laughter, but as she knows, there were no worries as to how the trial was run! Thank you so much for everything.” |

Normally cool and breezy, the April NCBCF all breed agility trial surprised competitors with a 90-degree heat wave, and they responded with frequent trips to the wading pool. With over 1,000 runs over the 2 days, Agility Chair, Sharon Prassa and the 14 other attending Beardie owners pitched in and worked hard to make the trial a success. Although Steve Lausmann’s Izzy could not compete because of an injury, he came to set up and tear down. Dick and Cindy Nellipowitz with Nitro and Suzi and Matt Beddoe with Emma made the long drive from Oregon to support the trial and compete. Northern California was well represented from the Sierra Foothills: Dave and Sharon Anderson with MacKenzie, the Central Valley: Iris Berry with Blue, Carol Colavecchio with Pal, Sharon Prassa with Ry and Zoot, and Karen Ryder with Sadie, the San Francisco Bay Area: Sharon Baker with Dani, Dawn Kinney with Buffy and Wick, and Shannon Smart with Beckham, and the Salinas Valley: Nancy Layton with Scout.
Saturday included runs in Standard, JWW, T2B and Fast. To shorten the day, FAST was omitted on Sunday. Judges Kera Holm and Tammy Domico, also an NCBCF member, created fun flowing courses.
Congratulations to Dave Anderson and MacKenzie who earned her Novice FAST title and to our HIT Beardies.
