Championships

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.

Members in good standing can enter their CBCA registered dogs to compete at that championship trial. Competitors must have participated in at least one Canadian SDT(ISDS style judged) in the year before (Aug 1 - July 31). Membership applications and application to register dogs have to be postmarked at least 60 days before the trial and sent to the secretary.

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 Grant

The 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 2008: Bev Sommer, Ian Zoerb 1st alternate, Campbell Forsyth 2nd alternate
