Next weekend there was a lure coursing competition in Mikkeli. Both Aslan (M. Buona Notte Bonaire) & Toffe (M. Flagship Flanagan) were entered and after the first round they were in the lead and kept their places through the finals :) So Aslan WON with 473 points + CC and Toffe came second with 468 points + CC. I'm so proud of these boys and their owners. WELL DONE!

First was Karo (M. Arrivederci Aruba) in junior males. He didn't behave at all when I was trying to stack him so all he got was VG but he's such a joy to trot around the ring with! He moves like train.

Then Enzo (M. Cuba Gooding) was EXC/4 in junior class. He's such a pro!

Toffe (M. Flagship Flanagan) was EXC/1 with CQ in intermediate class and went all the way to BEST MALE-4 with res-CAC. He's a male version of his beautiful mom.

Greta (M. May In Martinique) got a great critique but as she's a bit tall she was placed EXC/2 in intermediate class.

And Taffy (Sporting Fields Jamaican Me Crazy) showed her kids how it should be done and won the whole thing! EXC/1 in champion class with CQ, BEST BITCH-1, CACIB, BOB, GROUP 3rd 

LOVE HER!!!
