Boy, did we have fun!  Toomee finishes with a 5 pt specialty major under Jacqueline Quiros-Kudat on Saturday.  We were thrilled. He is now Am Ch Omen Khariz E.E. Khartoum.

That wasn't all.  Buckee - Omen Khariz E.E. Timbuktu was RWD to 5 pts under Lois Ann Snyder on Friday. 
Toomee was RWD under Tina Turley Kocab at the Friday CFLASH Specialty.
Lexee - Omen Khariz E.E. Alexandria - was RWB under both Nan Bodine and Jacqueline Quiros Kudat.  All shows 5 pt majors.
Ron Bigford stepped in to handle when needed - thanks Ron.

Unfortunately, I did not get very many decent pictures this time.  Since I was banned from the ring due to my distracting my dogs, I spent most of the time hiding behind a tree.  The pics above are of Buckee moving, Toomee standing in ring and then Buckee standing.

Michael Canalizo honored us by giving Lexee BOW and Toomee WD at the Augusta shows.  Cody Walker handled beautifully as always.
On Sunday, James Frederiksen gave Toomee BOW and Lexee WB.  Thank you to both Judges.

It was a great trip and we were very happy to have our dogs so well received by the judges and participants/spectators alike.  The host club did a fabulous job and we look forward to going again next year.  Thanks to judges Michelle Haag, Monica Stoner, Sibylle Benoit and Nicklas Eriksson for your consideration of our dogs.
From above, 1 & 2 is Toomee, 3 & 4 is Buckee, 5 & 6 is Blanca and 7 & 8 is Lexee.

We didn't get pictures in Ocala but both Toomee, pictured above, and Lexee made a nice showing at the Ocala CFLASH specialties which included Toomee bringing home the Reserve WD ribbon on Saturday under Scott Pfeill.  Thank you, Scott, for the honor and the lovely comments made about our boy.  Both Toomee and Lexee won their classes both days.
