Welcome
CLUB MEMBER ACTIVITIES & NEWS To keep up to date on all club activities, go to the Calendar.
PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE
Due to a conflict with the Albany dog show dates and a number of people who would not be able to attend the party, by popular demand the date of the party has been changed to one week earlier than previously announced.
Saturday, February 18, 2012
Lucky Lab Pub
1945 NW Quimby, Portland
1 PM to 4 PM
start collecting items for the auction
We also need some information from you. While most of us would like to brag about a Best in Show or a Master Draft Dog title, the really meaningful accomplishments are not always so public. We'd like to hear about your dogs' personal accomplishments during the past year. These don't have to be AKC titles (although we'd like to know about them also), but might be the completion of an obedience class, whelping a beautiful litter, excellence at fetching slippers (do Berners do that?), or just always being the happiest dog in the room. If you'd like also to have these highlights included on our BMDCO web site Accomplishments page, please let us know and send photos. Our club is about much more than dog shows and performance events and we'd like to recognize all those other aspects.
Please send the info to Debby Jones or Larry Nielsen. We'll have a live auction at the party so please bring items to donate and be prepared to bid on something you've always wanted.
Here is one item donated for the auction - a handmade 3x3 ft quilt including a display stand. A minimum bid of $250 is being asked for this beautiful quilt.

LOOKING FOR A PUPPY? We have a great Puppy Buyer's Toolkit to assist you in being an informed buyer and to guide you to a respectable breeder that is right for you !! This checklist enables you to ask the breeders some very important questions that will help you determine the quality of your new puppy and the important relationship that you can have with your breeder after you bring your puppy home. It also points out some "red flags" to help steer you away from the undesirable puppy mills and backyard breeders. Click here for Checklist. It would also be to your benefit to request a FREE Puppy Buyer's Guide Packet from our public education coordinator to use in tandem with this checklist.
BREEDERS We have generated a list of Breeders that are members of the BMDCO and/or our sister club, the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Greater Seattle (BMDCGS). These breeders have met certain qualifications and follow a defined code of conduct. It is important to know that we do NOT endorse, inspect, guarantee, or otherwise approve any particular breeder(s). This list is offered to you as an additional tool to help you get the quality puppy you desire. For more helpful tools in determining if the Bernese Mountain Dog is the right dog for you, please visit our Puppies page.
The BMDCO is proud to offer a variety of Events for club members which include draft clinics and tests, picnics, walks and our annual banquet/auction. We currently are working to add more activities to the calendar for our members to participate in.
Would you like to be a Volunteer? We always need people to help us out at events. Please take a moment to fill out our survey so we can match your interests with volunteer opportunities.
