What a week!  Congratulations to all the winners!  A big thanks to:

All the folks who worked so hard to put on a great show - especially with the challenges the weather dished out. 

Our good friends who helped us with the big and little things all week. 

Everyone for their support of the dogs we brought with us!  We couldn't be more pleased with their success!

The results are:

Becket:
Winners Dog and Best of Winners from the Bred By Exhibitor class
Novice B Standard 24" Agility Q on Tuesday

Scully:
1st place Excellent A Standard 20" Agility on Monday
3rd place Veteran 8-10 Sweepstakes

A short video has been posted by Dog Show Video Pros with footage of Becket going Best of Winners as well as the Best of Breed and Best of Opposite winners, Treasure and Yogi.

The "Family"
Somehow, we managed to get the whole animal family in one shot without any photo editing...even the 15 year old (best) cat (in the world) Ripley cooperated!  Left to right is Rally, Scully, Ripley and Becket.
