If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook people taking things out on you when it's not your fault
and something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor and if you can sleep without the aid of
drugs...
THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY A DOG.

Beardies at the
2011 Royal
Easter Show
By Jan Taylor
2011 must go down as being the wettest
Show on record…..and in the grand
scheme of things; we all know that water
and Beardies do not mix!
Mass Obedience Demonstrations – Friday 15th & Saturday 16th
Our first performance was on Friday 15th April. The RAS would not permit us to utilise a secure room to store our
possessions, as they have done for many years. So we walked in from P5 dressed ready for the performance
looking like the “Michelin Man” with the bare essentials stuffed in to pockets. The night was overcast, but we
managed to escape the deluge that was to follow that evening’s performance.
Saturday (16th April) was a different story! I am sure you can imagine the
condition of the Arena after 24 hours of constant rain and horses chopping up
the ground in Polo Matches……instant bog!
Lynda & Jan with MacAulay &
Gryffin – Obedience in the Rain!!
Sutherland Shire Dog Training Club’s Blue Team, like some of the other teams,
wore gum-boots as a mandatory part of their uniform. Tikki Frieze was the
Instructor for the Pink Team and hastily tried to contact her members to advise
them to wear the same. Unfortunately she was not able to get through to most
people, so a number (including Lynda Brandt) suffered the “sandshoe-suck” as
they stepped out on to the Main Arena. Those in sneakers had to make sure
their shoes were snuggly tied on or their shoes were left behind to be slowly
consumed by the mud! Common sense did prevail and our dogs were allowed
to wear raincoats, and we were given the option of not “dropping” our dogs, but
instead allowing them to “stand”.
As we were slogging our way around in the
centre of the Arena, we had to feel for the “UD”
Teams on the outer rim. Their dogs had to
perform their tasks in centimetres of water.
The crowds gave huge cheers when sprays of
water almost obscured some of the dogs as they
thundered over the jumps to retrieve their flags.
Of course the rain enhanced the aroma of horse

Team with Jan immediately behind in Blue Team.

dung and a few of the dogs sampled their wares on the move!, but there is always that one dog that has to shop
around the Arena for the best smelling/tasting morsel! This dog just ‘so happened’ to be the same Labrador that
had the crowd in stitches from the previous year’s performance. This year both the owner and Team Leader set
out to chase the dog down under the strict instructions from Dulcie Goldstein over the microphone to “put that
dog on lead!!!”
Yes, the Mass Obedience Demonstration in the rain is a lot of fun….
Agility Demonstration – Saturday 16th April
Gryffin was booked in to do two Agility Demonstrations at the Overflow (Cathy Freeman Park). The first
Demonstration was on Saturday 16th and the second on Tuesday 19th April.
After trudging in with our gear and setting up the Enviro Shade ready for SSDTC’s Team at the National Flyball
Championships that weekend, we discovered that the canopy leaked. There were 6 people and 2 large dog
crates crammed into the shelter trying to dodge the drops.
Gryffin
Agility was the first to perform in the ring and it seemed to take us forever to
set up the course. Firstly we had to track down the Purina folk who had the
key to unlock the Agility trailer, and then find locations in the arena where
we could place equipment that were not under water – this we did in stages,
seeking shelter as the rain came tumbling down. The time for our first
performance came and went – it was pouring. Finally we were able to get
out into the arena and put on a performance for a handful of hardy
spectators who happily cheered the dogs (and owners) on as they thundered
through puddles of water that sprayed everywhere. This ended up being our
one and only demonstration. Purina deemed the conditions as too
dangerous to continue.
Gryffin was due to return on Tuesday for another Agility Demonstration, but I had to pull out at the last minute.
Hamish had suffered a back and neck spasm on Sunday, but pain killing tablets plus cortisone and Meticam
injections given to him on Monday by the vet were having no effect. He desperately needed physio treatment,
however due to the Royal Easter Show, securing a vacancy was becoming a problem due to being totally booked
out until the following Sunday. Thankfully a cancellation became available for Wednesday morning.

Beardie Show – Thursday, 21st April
What a lovely sunny day for showing and how exciting that Lynda Brandt was able to engage a Specialty Show
Judge, Sandra Lex from Canada - just for our Club at the conclusion of the days official RAS showing.
The RAS Show was on in the morning with a fabulous line-up of beautifully presented Beardies, ready to show off
in the Arena to a very pleasing crowd. Judging for Beardies commenced at 9.30am. The Judge from Brazil, Luiz
Fernando Ribas Silva was diligent in his responsibilities of assessing our Beardies.
The competition was fierce, but there always has to be a winner
and this year Penny Brooks took out Best of Breed with Gr Ch
Llandtree Newell Glenn and then backed it up with Runner Up
Best of Breed given to Gr Ch Llandtree Ftstpsofa Angl . Sharon
Roche with ‘Falcor’ was Reserve Dog and Kathy Tasker’s ‘Frosty’
was Reserve Bitch. Congratulations to all.
Wendy Banks
& Brazilian
Judge.
With the RAS Show Judging over it was time for a bit of R & R and
rapport with the public. We enjoyed our lunch and as usual the
selection was a sheer delicacy, especially the home cooked quiches
and tarts! After an enjoyable break it was time to prepare our
dogs for the Specialty.
No one judge assesses a dog the same way. One might prefer a more solid head over a
supple and powerful gait. Judge - Sandra Lex, had a different style of judging and her
outcome was slightly different to that of Mr Silva.
Best in Show was given to Ch Bonibraes Crazy For You HSAs , owned by Colin Mackrory,
Bea Insausti. Runner Up Best in Show was given to Penny Brook’s Gr Ch Llandtree
Newell Glenn.
Canadian Judge, Sandra
Lex.
It was a great day. For anyone in the audience contemplating what it would be like to
own a Beardie – they would have received an invaluable insight to the Bearded Collie
temperament watching approx 20 Beardies happily enjoying each other’s company when
we all came together for the Specialty Judging Presentation.

Flyball – Saturday 23rd April
This year the RAS hosted the Australian National Flyball Championships where teams from NSW, ACT, Victoria,
Tasmania and Queensland participated in the two day event that commenced on Good Friday.
Unfortunately Gryffin did not make the grade to be part
of Sutherland’s National Flyball Championship Team…..
Don’t know why?.... just because he forgets what he is
supposed to do half way down the run should not be a
reason to disqualify him from the team! Even so, I
attended on Saturday (in the rain) to help the team out by
“box loading”. To our excitement the “Sutherland Storm”
came First in Division 7, a feat that has eluded the
Sutherland Team since 2008 (when Hamish was part of
the winning Team). Sutherland also won the “Clean Run”
Trophy for having the most faultless runs at 92%.
Certainly an accomplishment that would not have
transpired if Gryffin was part of the Team!!!
Agility Competition – Tuesday 26 April
The competition for Agility was a two day event held over 26th & 27th April.
Gryffin only competed on Tuesday. He was entered in Master Agility and
Master Jumping. When I read in the entry notification that the Judges were
going to be Le Hammer and Keith Edwards, my stomach started to churn.
They are known for their difficult courses and to have them judging at the
Royal when you are on public display, added to the pressure …..second
thoughts gleamed about whether or not to enter.
Jan &
Gryffin
We did enter and what a surprise we received. The courses by both Judges
were delightful. There were enough challenges to make you think and they
flowed. As long as you were in the correct position for changes in the course direction and could push your dog
ahead, then you had no problem. However, if you called late instructions to your dog, then you were in all sorts of
bother. I did just that; with only a few obstacles to left, my call to Gryffin to ‘go’ from the jump to the tunnel in
front of me to the left, was late. He stopped just shy of the entrance to check my direction and that was sufficient
for the Judge to call a “refusal”. I was so angry with myself – Gryffin did all the hard work only to be faulted for
my laziness.
Jumping was a different story…. A Pass – Yahoo!!! It felt like we were motoring around the course at high speed,
but the final result was that we came 15th from 16 Passes handed out. Still, I was very proud of Gryffin, he
grasped the task at hand with minimal backchat!

Breed Stall – Tuesday 26th April
The Breed Stall is such a great opportunity to showcase our breed.
Lynda Brandt with MacAulay; Gene & Barry with their brood of 4 Beardies, (Toby, Lucy, Buddy & Molly) with some
help from their grandson, plus my sister and I with our two (Hamish & Gryffin) made up the numbers as part of
our Breed Stall presentation.
We all shared the responsibility of
making our dogs available to the
public. Some were happier than others
in the spotlight. MacAulay was the hit
of the day. He was poked, prodded,
patted and photographed and took it
all in his stride.
Part of our display - with
Macaulay beneath the Banner.
Lynda did a fantastic job of updating
the promotional panels. This showed
the dogs in a wide range of activities.
To accentuate this display we also had
photos on computer that we ran
throughout the day. (Thanks also to
Natalie Kirkwood for her assistance in
putting the photos together on disk). A huge thanks to everyone who attended. It can be a bit stressful for our
dogs being in the public eye with limited mobility. The dog toileting area required a ‘peg on our nose’ each time
we visited! –Gryffin would not enter the precinct – I told him that if he did not go then he would have to stand
cross legged all day and that might be a bit embarrassing in the Agility Ring! Still there were amusing anecdotes
like watching Barry being literally dragged into the pavilion behind four very excited dogs – the expression on his
face was priceless! , or trying to get all seven dogs to line up for a photo – I’m glad we were not in a hurry….
Cannot wait till next year….!!!! See you there to do it all over again.

Member Profiles
Name: Monica Brigden
BB: What is your Occupation....
Monica: I own and operate an online party supplies store which supplies costumes,
wigs and all party needs. I am also a photographer who enjoys photographing families
and children and of course Beardies.
BB: Where do you live?.....
Monica: I live about 30 minutes from Brisbane City, Q’ld, on the east side on 1.5 acres.
BB: How many Beardies do you have….
Monica: I have two beardies. My beautiful beardie girl, Holly (Avongael Serendipity)
who just recently turned 4 and my gorgeous boy, Finnegan (Shilston Secret Mission)
who will be 3 in September.
When did you get your first Bearded Collie....and what drew you to the
breed….
Monica: I first saw a beardie about 20 odd years ago when I went to
watch a sports game with a friend from work. She owned a beardie and
brought him along to the game. She also had a young child who was in a
pram. The beardie boy sat near the pram the entire game and watched
the baby. It was his gentle and caring nature that drew me in. I knew one
day I would own a beardie, but would wait until I was able to give him/her
the attention they deserved. That time was just over 4 years ago when
Holly came into my life.
Holly & Finn
BB: What activities do you enjoy doing with your Beardies…
Monica: I love doing obedience with both Holly & Finn and have recently done a beginner’s agility course at the RSPCA
with Holly. I am in the process of setting up an agility yard in the back paddock at my home.
Finn & Chocolate
BB: Do you have any other animals in the household.... and do your Beardies get on well
with the them….
Monica: I have two cats – one Heinz variety moggie (Vegemite) and the other a Birman
(Chocolate). Holly & Finn stay well away from Vegemite as she prefers not to socialise
with other animals. Holly & Finn love to herd Chocolate and he is ok with that for a while,
then he lets them know (when it’s time to stop). He has a spot where he can escape to if
they get too overwhelming for him.
BB: What are your interests and hobbies outside of your “dog world pursuits”…..
Monica: In my spare time I love to read, spend time in the garden and socialise with
friends. I also spend time catching up with all of the beardie people over the world on
Facebook
BB: What is the ‘best’ thing about owning a Beardie?
Monica: The best thing about owning beardies is the unconditional love and devotion that they give, the beardie
bounces when you get home; and they make the best bed buddies at night.
Beardie Business – Winter 2011
Page 11
BB: For someone interested in the breed, what advice would you give them?
Monica: You need to have the time and desire to want to groom them and spend time with them. They are NOT a dog
that likes to be left outside away from the family. They are not really dogs, just fur-humans!
BB: and finally….what grooming item/tool would you ‘never be without?!”
Monica: I would never be without my comb and slicker brush.
Finn & Holly
Agility News
Nat Kirkwood competed with both Spaghetti & Sonic at the ADAA Nationals, held in Tamworth. Thankyou for quickly putting together a few paragraphs
Nat and congratulations on a successful weekend with the boys!
ADAA Nationals 2011 - May 20th-22nd
Australian Equine & Livestock Events Centre - Tamworth
By Nat Kirkwood
Spaghetti came home with 6 Q's and a few more runs where he was clear, but parts of a second
over-time. He only needs one more games card for his RMAAD now and even better (I went with no
expectations for him due to the environment) you just couldn't wipe the “smile off his face” for
the whole time we were there. He was just having a fabulous time and conquered his see-saw demons!
He also won the following prizes: National Champion Regular Snooker 3rd place,
National Champion Regular Biathalon Runner Up
National Regular All Round Champion 3rd place (all Maxi class)
Sonic came home with 3 Q's. He got a team Q and 1st place in round 1, and a 2nd in an Advanced Agility
and Open Agility. He had lots of runs with just one fault and had the last bar fall in the Gamble after
doing the difficult stuff. He missed the last contact in Snooker and a lot of other ‘oh so closes’, but it was
just not to be, with a few tunnel vortex syndromes thrown in to keep you honest.
He won the following prize:- National Champion Biathalon Runner Up Maxi Class.
Thanks to Penny and Murray Brooks for coming along and cheering for us for a few events.
