Hi Folks -
The 2016 Briard Club of America National Specialty will be in Portland at the Airport Holiday Inn Conference Center. It will be DURING THE WEEK, Tuesday through Friday September 19-23, with a Regional Specialty Show on Wednesday, Sweeps and Obedience on Thursday, and the Specialty itself on Friday. We also hope to have supported entries at the Centralia and Gig Harbor shows on the weekends prior to and following the Specialty, so there will be lots of opportunities for points.
If you need to plan your vacations in advance, now is the time to reserve that week for dog stuff! And start saving your pennies for entry fees!
For those of you who do not show your dogs in the "beauty contest" it is still a great way to come see the biggest assemblage of Briards in one place in the Pacific NW. It is a lot of fun and you and your dogs are all welcome! There will be much Briards fun to be had, and you can hang out with other Briard owners, meet other Briards, and even buy -- or win - Briard-related items. There will also be a herding instinct test in nearby Vancouver WA that is fun for everyone.
Mark your calendars now!
