The Canadian Border Collie Association sponsors an annual Championship Sheep Dog Trial. This trial rotates between the West and East annually. Generally in the West it is held in conjunction with the Western Championships and in the East it is either held on it's own or associated with a prestigous Eastern trial.
Entry Requirements: Members
in good standing can enter their CBCA registered dogs to compete at that
championship trial. Competitors (handlers) must have participated in at
least one Canadian SDT(ISDS style judged) in the year before (Aug 1 - July
31). In
extraordinary circumstances this requirement can be waived by the board
for a long time member who has shown continuous support for CBCA over the
years.
.
The trial consists normally of a Nursery class - two runs with the highest combined score becoming Nursery Champion - and an Open class. In the Open there are normally two qualifying runs and the top dogs of the qualifying rounds will go on to the Double Lift Final - which will determine the CBCA Champion.
Travel
GrantThe board has instituted a travel grant to help
one handler from one region to participate at the Championships at the other
region. For this purpose one handler will receive a grant of $ 600.00. Interested
handlers should indicate their interest to the Secretary before the current
year's AGM. At that AGM 3 names will be drawn: the 1st choice and two alternates.
As soon as the handler has made the arrangements for travel to the Championships
the secretary will issue a cheque in the amount of $ 600.00. This travel
grant is available to members in good standing who are running in Open and
who reside in Canada.
Travel Grant for 2009: Kim Purich with Kate Broadbent as the first alternate and Tara Dier as the second alternate.
