Draft Retreat and Workshop - Friday June 17 - Sunday June 19 - Black Forest, CO

Last year the BMDCR held a weekend long draft workshop and it was wildly successful.  So back by popular demand we're holding it again.  This is a fantastic way for beginners to make a fast start and experienced teams to polish their performances.  All the details are in the attached flier

AKC Dog Shows

Many members of the BMDCR actively show their dogs in conformation and obedience at AKC licensed shows. These events are a popular meeting place for members. Shows in the Rocky Mountain area are usually superintended by Jack Onofrio Dog Shows.  Go to his home page (www.onofrio.com) for a schedule of events.  Once there follow one of the "Show Information" links. 

"Upcoming Shows" gives a long term view of shows that are coming up with dates and locations.  Follow a link to a show and you can find the Premium List which has directions and other information.

A show is "closed" when exhibitors can no longer enter a dog; about 16 days before the show date. The "Closed Shows" link gives a short term view of shows and will have more detailed information.  In particular, the Judging Program becomes available about 10 days before the show and contains the ring number and the ring time for every breed as well as the number of dogs entered.  This information helps you plan your outing.

Club Events Around the USA

There are many other regional Berner clubs throughout the United States besides the BMDCR.  Link to the BMDCA calendar of events page for information about events all around the country.
