Home of the BeardieMainiacs!
Our 2023 events are here, so check them out on our Events page.
This doesn’t have to be the complete and exhaustive list, however. If any member would like to host an event, just say the word. The Board will be happy to lend whatever suport you might need, including refreshments, paperwork, or whatever you’ll need to host a successful event.
Great news! The Premium List is available for our Specialty and Supported Entry (hosted under the BCCA umbrella) at the Ladies’ Dog Club shows.
Here’s the link to the Premium List.

Hi Folks!
I hope you’ve all been keeping safe and well. Now that we’re emerging from winter hibernation and from the pandemic lockdown, it’s time to talk about what 2021 brings for BCCME.
The Board met this afternoon via Zoom to discuss our events. Here’s what’s going on:
We’ll send more information as we get it. In the meantime, why don’t you folks tell us how you’ve been? We can’t wait to see you!
Our 14th annual Bounce & BBQ is now part of the history books. Thanks to everyone who came, and who brought fabulous food and bouncing Beardies! We hope all the dogs slept very well yesterday — we humans certainly did!
Here’s a little slideshow of photos from the Bounce. If you want any of these individual photos, just ping Karen.
Here they are:
We apologize for the suck-tastic ring times, but they were much worse before the show chair argued on our behalf. Most of the time, we get our requested late-morning time, but this year, we have a popular judge and requested a popular ring time. We’ll have a blast anyway!
Before we show, we’ll have finger foods and munchies in the party tent. After we show, we’ll bring out the late lunch buffet and hold the raffle. Stick around!
