The Border Collie Society of America, Inc. will consider the classes at this National Specialty Show as a designated International Crufts Qualifying Show. Recipients of the Best of Breed, Best of Opposite to Best of Breed, Select Dog, Select Bitch, and Award of Merit will receive a Crufts eigibility Qualifying Award

Certificate to enter the Crufts Dog Show March 7-10, 2019 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. Details can be found at www.the-kennel-club.org.uk which notes the testing proceedures should be started at least seven (7) months prior to the Crufts Dog Show.

JANET LARSON VERSATILITY AWARD

The Janet Larson Award recognizes the dog that exemplifies true versatility by successfully competing in herding and performance competitions. Dogs must qualify in herding and two other venues.The new computation uses the actual scores rather than just qualifying status. This should result in su-perior preformances being rewarded.The higthest scoring day from each venue will be the only one that counts for scoring.Obedience and Rally have been combined into one venue because they utilize the same skills.Agility was pared down to Standard and Jumpers with Weaves counting towards the score but the Pre-mier classes were added. Herding is still the foundation with the most points available overall, and a score in herding is required to continue in the competition throughout the week. The test classes and will no longer count towards the award, because they are pass/fail, there is no score to use in the tabulation.Conformation added an evaluation in which dogs will participate in order to earn maximum points from conformation. Additional points can be earned by entering either working Working Sweepstakes or the National Specialty. This change will allow altered dogs to earn points in conformation. It will use the score sheet developed for the Top 20 Award and the dogs will be given a score based on the Border Collie standard. Two judges will score each dog and the scores will be averaged. The conformation evaluation will take place on Wendesday at 5 pm or following the agility competition.We will offer three awards - Gold, Silver & Bronze.

Participants MUST submit a form with their acquired points at the end of each day. You may obtain forms from Lisa Pruka.

Entry fee will be $15. You must be pre-registered to compete. To register, please got to the BCSA website to make payment. The competition is open to BCSA MEMBERSONLY.
