​Brother Buckee - Omen Khariz E.E. Timbuktu - is WD and BOW.  He needs 2 singles to complete his title.

Lexee is now within one point of her championship.  She was Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best Opposite under Bonnie Linnell Clark.  Thank you to Cathy for handling.

It was a great few days in Perry because of the great handling skills of Ron Bigford and good friend, Cathy Temple.
Buckee was WD, BOW under Col. Joe Purkhiser on Wednesday, WD, BOW under Robert Schwalbe on Thursday, WD BOS (beating 3 top twenty specials) under Ken Murray on Friday and WD Saturday under Gareth Morgan-Jones.
Litter sister Lexee was WB, BOW for a 4 pt. major under Gareth Morgan-Jones.
This brings Buckee to 12 points with both majors and Lexee to 13 points with both majors.
​Thanks to all!

This was our first show in the New Year.  Dana Cline was the judge and
Toomee made his Specials debut resulting in Best of Breed for a 4 pt. Grand Championship major.
Buckee BOW and Lexee WB and BOS over Ch. bitch.
Thank you to Cody Walker and Cathy Temple for once again piloting them to their wins.
We did not get a chance to get an official photo and I am sorry the quality we got was not that great.  
​But it is a good memory all the same.

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.

Big excitement from Norway.  Yaffa is BIS Veteran at the Norwegian Saluki Specialty.  She is also 2nd best bitch over all bitch classes.  You go Yaffa!!  And Yaffa is 12 1/2 at this show.
