Bea, Border Collie, CRN 990487
Our nomination for Region 7 MVP is Bea, a Border Collie with the Cascade Comets. Bea has
been a serious flyball competitor since 1999, earning over 55,000 points to date with a goal of
60,000 within the next year. She was anchor dog on the 2001 Regional Championship team.
Even at 12 years old, she still runs consistently in the low-to-mid 5 second range. While she has
her favorite handlers, she is such a pro that she’ll run for almost anybody. This gives the club
tremendous flexibility, especially when we race each other.
With her classic B.C. markings and ball drive, Bea is well known in the region, especially when
she refuses to release her tug before racing. She enjoys flyball so much; she has been known to
give her handler the slip and enter the ring before her race. Several times she has given
spectators a laugh as they see a black & white blur race toward the ring with her handler giving
chase.
Bea has also passed her competitive nature on to many of her offspring. Four of her pups (Rex,
Clark, Tehya & Stella May) also run for the Cascade Comets and have 133,444 points combined
