We're featuring two raffle packages for the months of April and May. No matter whether you're on the go or enjoying a quiet time at home, we have a raffle just for you!
Yes, you heard that right --
the BCCA will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2009. They're starting
the party early by offering exclusive 40th Anniversary logowear from
Mike McCartney! If you're a McCartney fan, you won't want to be without
one of these colorful, festive, and downright Wicked Good shirts!
Here down below is an order form in PDF format.
Download it, print it, and send it out -- and soon you'll be
celebrating the BCCA's 40th in style! Not only that, but you'll be helping to fund both the 2008 and 2009 BCCA National Specialties -- and look good doing it!

Twice the Fun in 2008!
This year, BCCME is holding two Supported Entries at local Maine shows:
May 3-4 at the York County Kennel Club shows in Acton, ME
June 21-22 at the Penobscot Valley Kennel Club shows in Cumberland, ME
We had so much fun last year
that we thought we'd do it again -- plus we get to show our support for
the local Kennel Clubs. Whether you're actively showing in
conformation, obedience or rally or you just like to come see the
Beardies and shop for doggie stuff at the show vendors, come on down
and have a good time with us! Here are some of the things we offer:
Trophies and rosettes for winners in conformation, plus highest scoring Beardie in obedience and rally both days
Breakfast and munchies for all Beardie folks
A silent auction featuring lots of fantastic Beardie/doggie stuff
Saturday night lobster dinner at The Weathervane after the show
Traditional Mainiac fun and fellowship
...and of course, free lobsters for every Beardie!
MB-F is the superintendent for both shows. Premium lists can be found on Infodog.com, or you can find the YCKC premium list here.
(Note: MB-F omitted the supported entry info from the premium list, but
it will be in the catalog. They promised!) The PVKC premium will be
posted as soon as MB-F publishes it.
Details and directions for both shows are posted on our Upcoming Activities page.
