TY all for your nice comments.
Yes ML Tommie is all done he won his Championship in Houston at the last set of shows. Now he can play and frolic and get muddy if he wants. I love his hair, but I have so many to groom it just isn't practical to keep him in long hair......
We did a photo shoot so I would have momentos of him in coat. I didn't really care for his show pics so I did my own. The photographers here are not as good as the ones in Florida used to be at the shows.

I can understand the grooming situation with others to groom as well, Denice. Now, he can go play in the mud. LOL...which he probably won't do.

huh ML, it took 5 minutes for him to find mudd, he loves dirt, he ran out on me yesterday in the run and dug down under some river rock and got so muddy you could hardly recognize him...I asked him if he was a piggy or a dog.......LOL

I know I shouldn't laugh, Denice but the sight of a show dog covered with mud must have been quite a shock to you. LOL Katie did that once when she was a pup. Boy, was she a mess.

That is clean compared to what he looked like, he looked like he had taken a mud bath...we went straight to the sink for a bath. It was almost like he knew he did something naughty he sat in the sink and sulked like golly here she goes cleaning up all my fun!

Wow, he must have been really dirty if he looked worse than Katie in the picture, Denice. LOL Katie needs a bath right now but I'm waiting to see if we can put three nice days together. I may have to settle for two days or even one. LOL

I think it takes a special "eye" to photograph dogs. Some do better than others...

What a beautiful little boy!

Denice, he is so handsome! His markings are so evenly spaced. It is good to know he is a champion according to the powers that be, because he was always a champion in our book!
Please be sure to post his "after" picture!

Denice, what's going to happen to Tommy now? is he going to stand at stud or is he going to get neutered and adopted? ...like little tiger...

i know, you can't keep them all but how do you decide who to keep? and do you ever wish that you kept someone?

i have a hard time with goats and they are just livestock...

Dee, I can see where you could become attached to the baby goats. I would have a hard time selling a litter of puppies if I ever had any or even kittens.

Tommie will be free and play and frolic. He will stand at stud to approved bitches and replace Dukum as our homebred Champion stud. We have retired Dukum and he just gets to laze around and play, he is best buds with Clara and you can often find them both cuddled up in a dog bed together. Tommie has ants in his pants and is constantly on the move, he got full of mudd yesterday and thought it was really funny when mom said oh no what have you done........He went out the dog door while I was grooming and scratched down under the river rock and found damp earth and wallowed in it......ugh........
