Scout had an RA leg from before, so Scout, Ciara and Cooper have just one more to go for their title! WAY TO GO!

Btw, I have to mention a newcomer to the showring: young Lee McCrory showed his boy Toby, aka JavaHill's Shotgun By The Bay - neither had ever been in the ring before, and they came out with a blue ribbon. They were the only ones in the ring, but as many of you know, the judge does NOT have to award 1st place if they feel the dog is "without Merit"....thanks to Lee and his mom for getting Toby out there, and to Leslie Grant for giving him a short lesson before he went in. Toby did his Mom Rio and daddy Rev proud - he's a really nice dog and moves like the wind!
