BMDCA National Specialty 2006
"Berner-Garde Auction"

The BMDCA & Heart of Michigan Bernese Mountain Dog Club
Welcome you to Frankenmuth Michigan for the BMDCA National Specialty.
May 1-6, 2006
http://www.bmdca.org/specialty/2006/index.php

Everything is pointing to the fact that we will have a terrific
2006 Berner-Garde Auction!
The proceeds will go towards the establishment of a DNA and Tissue Repository. This Repository is in the process of being established. Michigan State Veterinary School and Hospital are the most likely candidate to be contracted to serve as the host for the repository. While other DNA banks exist, once again the Berner community will be in the forefront with an integrated approach to diagnosis, tissue banking and research. We expect to have an announcement prior to the 2006 Specialty.

This year the Auction will be held on the Thursday evening, May 4th, at 8PM.

If you'd like to contribute to the success of this fundraiser in the future by donating an item or cash, contact

2006 Specialty Quilt

Donated by the Quilting Ladies of the "Inland Northwest Bernese Mountain Dog Club"

The INWBMDC quilters made their first group quilt for the 2004 Specialty in Mesquite, TX. Our quilter's group is comprised of INWBMDC members from Idaho, Montana and Utah. We were so pleased with how well that quilt did in the auction that we decided to make it an annual offering. In continuing our tradition, the 2006 quilt reflects the theme of the Specialty. The log cabin pattern represents the Great Lakes, and the beer steins echo the Bavarian style of Frankenmuth. The backing for the quilt reminds one of sunlight reflected on the water. Of course the most important element, Berners, are found at the center of each log cabin square.

Berner Painted on a Feather

Nicky Nickerson grew up with dogs, horses, and art. A former professional groomer, Nicky turned her hand full time to her artistic pursuits about ten years ago. At "Egg Centrix," her studio, she has earned quite a following in the Northeast, producing intricately carved egg shells and painted feathers, usually depicting a nature scene or an animal portrait.

Donated by Judy and Jon Cons, Southwind BMD

Cart

"The cart is all oak. The removable sides are oak stained in natural teak before finishing to give the contrasting look. You see a lot of carts that have the painted removable sides (usually red) that provide a contrast. I did this using stained oak to provide a classier look than red paint. The three coats of marine grade finish is very smooth. Gary "
