Eye, Cardiac, and Heartworm Clinic - Saturday, March 20, 2010
This year's Clinic will again be held with Dr. Todd Hammond, D.V.M. M.S. AVCO at The Eye Clinic, 7630 W. 39th Ave, Wheat Ridge, CO 80333. The date is March 20 and appointments will be scheduled from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Dr. Nancy Fuselier, D.V.M. will be doing heart worm tests and providing heartworm medication prescriptions for those who want them. Many Bernese owners put their dogs on heartworm preventative medicine for the summer months only and the test is needed before the drug can be prescribed.
Eye exams require about one to one and a half hours total time at the office. Please bring your dogs AKC registration number and microchip or tattoo number to complete the forms for CERF.
Appointments are required. Please contact Dr. Fuselier at (719) 531-7366

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.
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.
