BAD Awards 2006

Eighth Annual BAD Awards

The Beardie Agility Diehards have been a community since February of 1997. It has been wonderful sharing with all of you for nearly ten years! We first gathered at the 1997 Specialty in Rohnert Park, California, where we revealed our new logo on our BAD t-shirts designed by Gretchen Blackburn. A group of us shared our first BAD dinner with Karen Norteman, who created our well-known, award winning website. I like to joke that Karen gave me my life's work! It was also at the 1997 Specialty that we decided to support the publication of agility articles in the Bulletin. At the 1999 Specialty in Olympia Washington, we held our first BAD Awards dinner. After the agility trial, we joined each other for an informal evening and called out for pizza and beer. Since then our dinners have grown to well over 50 members annually.

2006 BAD Member Of The Year Award:
Libby Myers-Buhite

Presented by Sharon Prassa:

"Without Libby and the BAD website, our agility history would not be as well documented as it is.

Libby received many nominations for BAD person of the year. More than one person thought that Libby should have had this award many times over. She is the personal record keeper for many of us (I confess I'm one who does not always write down my stats, even though I mean to!!). Often she has caught discrepancies or noticed that legs were not recorded properly in NADAC, USDAA or AKC, allowing us to notify the organization and rectify the error.

In the words of one nominee: 'I don't have any idea how she can keep up (with all the agility stats), but she does. She knows more about my dogs than I do!!'

Libby, it is with great pleasure that we award you BAD person of the Year!"

2006 BAD Attitude Awards:

Joanne Williamson

Joanne, our BCCA Agility Co-Chair, has been working with the Agility Committee since 1997, tracking all of our Beardies' AKC legs and titles. She has been instrumental in working out the point systems for all of our BCCA Agility Awards. When I think of Joanne, dedication is the word that springs to mind. As well as diligently training her agility Beardies, Beau and Flash, Joanne has given of herself tirelessly to all of us.

Betty Winfield

Betty is the Agility Chair for the 2006 Specialty
and prepared a wonderful two days for all Agility Enthusiasts!
