Welcome to the 2011 BCCA National Specialty!

October 1-7, 2011
The Colony Hotel, Kennebunkport, ME

The BCCA2011 Specialty Committee and the Bearded Collie Club of Maine welcome you to the first National Specialty to be held in Maine, and the first to be held in New England since 1998.

We'll have all of the traditional events — competitive and non-competitive — and we hope you'll take some time to look around and enjoy your surroundings. October is prime foliage season in Maine. The Colony is just a short trolley ride from the center of Kennebunkport with its restaurants and shopping, and only a 45-minute drive from the famed L.L. Bean main store (open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year) and the rest of the Freeport outlets. You'll be close to innumerable seafood restaurants, fishing and sailing charters, dog-friendly walks and hikes, and a host of other fun activities.


I belive that you have to visit the National Specialty at least once in a lifetime. Sometime I will, but until then I stay by the computer and watch photos and videos of beautiful beardies.
