The members' BLUE BOOK ad deadline is a "hard" deadline, NOVEMBER 15th. Please hurry!

To expand a bit more on the 2020 book's material (stories, articles, etc.) to be included in the 2020 BBCHA Historical Blue Book: A revealing article on UKC Show Dog History since 1946 - several Bluetickers were Key. An article on the Big 'N Blues - such as Top Notch, Harshman, Green, Harry O. Smith, Mansill, Cameron, et al. A Bluetick Milestone (the 1st "All Grand" litter). A spotlight on Ben Lilly's favorite hounds.

There's plenty more, to include specifics already detailed in previous replies above. If you pay your BBCHA dues you'll get one of these "one of a kind" books in your mail box, during the 1st quarter of 2021.

How to join BBCHA and how to submit your personal ad are also explained in previous replies above. I believe we can top last year's unparalleled yearbook if you pay your dues, and if the dedicated membership submits their personal ads. THANKS!

Good folks....if we voted in the U.S. Presidential election, I guess we've done all we can do as citizens. Have you done everything you can do to promote your favorite sporting breed?

Please read the previous replies herein for guidance on how to place a Blue Book ad and join BBCHA.

Here's some more stuff to be included in the upcoming Historical Blue Book (the book to be delivered to 2020 members' mail boxes in early 2021):

* A heart-felt homage to one of the greatest Bluetick females of the modern era. * Several commemorative tributes to Bluetick folks we've lost in the recent past. * A Julius Sebastian critique on two hounds influential in the gene pool of the Bluetick breed. * Elbert Vaughn's analysis of his all-time favorite tree hound and sire.

Add this to the great material to appear in the upcoming Blue Book (already previewed in previous replies) and you'll have maybe the greatest Bluetick yearbook ever published!
