2022 BPCA Élevage & National Specialty

For those who passed the Temperament Test:

The AKC is raising their application fee from $25 to $30 on January 1, 2023, so if you need to apply for recognition of the ATTS title, please fill out the form and send in verification showing the dog received a passing grade as stated on the form. The scores are on the left-hand corner of the entry form mailed with your certificate from the American Temperament Test Society, and the evaluator should have checked the box above her signature that stated the dog passed.

The form can be found at: http://images.akc.org/pdf/titles/Temperament_Testing_App.pdf

This year’s artwork was a celebration of Picards and their abilities. Life On The Farm was our theme, and numbered prints for $35, garden flags for $15 and die-cut stickers for $5 were available. The stickers have all been purchased, and there are a few prints reserved and awaiting payment. At this time Kami Lanigan only has 3 prints and 5 garden flags left for sale.

If you wish to order a print or garden flag, please do so soon. Please add $5 for postage and if paying by PayPal add a few more dollars for the PayPal fee and send payment to [email protected]. Payment by check can be made by forwarding a check to our treasurer:

The Bonfire store is also open until November 1 for T-shirts, sweatshirts, cups and tote bags.

Thank you so much for supporting our National Specialty. We are awaiting the statement from the fairgrounds and the superintendent to see if we broke even financially. Auction proceeds are directed to the Health Fund, so everything else needs to break even – or at least that was our plan!
