The Specialty Re-Cap
I hope everyone has recuperated
from the wonderful weekend we
spent with many of our Biewer
friends in Reading, PA. What a
weekend!
The quality of dogs present was
Unsurprisingly, the most phenomenal thing this weekend
were the beautiful Biewers. It
was positively breathtaking to
witness the wonderful representation of our breed in attendance
at the BBCA Specialty.
headed in the right direction with
our Club, and our breeding programs.
I was pleased to hear that one of
the judges, (a toy breed specialist), vocalized his approval of the
direction we are taking with this
breed.
It was a great opportunity to see
old friends and make many new
ones. Even the NAKC organizer
noted how friendly the atmosphere was by commenting on
never having seen so much hugging going on. What a great
feeling to see everyone being so
genuinely supportive of each
other.

further confirmation that we are
For the second year in a row, the
BBCA Specialty has provided the
largest showing venue for Biewers in North America. Kudos to
all who helped make this a record-setting and fun-filled weekend. What a fantastic display of
quality Biewers. I can’t wait for
next year! I want to see how the
raffle committee can top this
years amazing display. - JR
Fundraising
The 2nd Annual
BBCA Raffle was
a big success! This
would never have
been possible without all of the volunteers to help run
the raffle table. Not to mention the great sponsors who so generously donated
so many nice items
for our raffle. Just
to mention some of
the items raffled
this year were stroller, pet gear
collapsible crate, hand painted
Biewer clocks, dresses, sweaters,
bows, grooming products, pet
beds etc. We had 3 tables totaling 24 feet that were filled with
items on Saturday and also refilled on Sunday.
The total amount raised will be
announced at our next meeting.
I would like to thank everyone
who complimented the Fundraising Committee on getting such
nice items. We were very proud
of the nice display we had. It
was a lot of fun to do the raf-
fle. We had grown women pretending to pout for not winning
and others screaming and jumping
for joy when they won! Also had a
generous winner who won a double item and decided to put it back
in to be raffled again to give someone else a chance at winning! Others were winning and
sharing with their friends. I think
we all enjoyed and looked forward
to getting together and drawing
the winning tickets. It just added
to our special weekend spent with
our dear friends. - Sharon Brown

Specialty and Events Committee
Our BBCA's 2009 annual Specialty One Fine Spring Day was a
true success! The BBCA Specialty in conjunction with NAKC,
had 30 entries; 3 were absent, so
a total of 27 Biewer a la Pom
Pon's were shown by 20 different
exhibitors. It was a spectacular
weekend full of fun, laughter,
raffles and wins with old friends
and new friends, members and
non members! Our Judge for the
Specialty was the icing on the
cake as he was truly professional,
AKC -Toy Breed Judge -Bernhard
Helfrich had the patient of a saint
with our little pups
and knew exactly
how to judge our
beautiful
breed as he was
in awe with them!
We were honored
to have as our
speaker this year
Dr. Sharon Center
to lecture us on
her PSVD and
BREED
CLUB
OF
MVD research. We had a great
turn out of members and nonmembers for her lecture.
Dr. Center clarified the disorder
of PSVD and MVD, described the
process of genotyping and her
research in finding the gene responsible for the inherited disorder. She also clarified her reasonable goals of a developed genetic
test. Many had the chance to ask
questions during and after the
lecture. She seems to be very
confident in having the DNA
marker identified soon! Let's all
hope so!
And I would like to take this moment to thank all those involved
in making our Specialty a success
starting with our Specialty Committee: Theresa Perry and Val
Kibler.
The awards, ribbons and certificates are all thanks to them and
so many other details to long to
list!!

Special Thank You
There are many, many people to thank who
helped to make this event spectacular.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks. There
were two people who need to be acknowledged that do not own Biewer, are not club
members, but who gave of themselves con-
tinually. Special thanks to Laura and Jackie
for their tireless efforts and help to us all.
You are precious gems.
