Challenging Oakley for the BIS were the now familiar Harrier, Doberman, Kerry, Affenpinscher, & Schipperke with the lone newcomer being the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, GCH CH Heritage Ever after.  Oakley would collect his first BIS of the week and the Affenpinscher, Joey would pick up the RBIS.

Oakley and Peyton have been at the top of the rankings, separated by a handful of points,  for much of the year.  They started the week about 2200 points apart.  Peyton has managed to cut that to around 1100 points with this week’s wins.  Oakley now has 67 big rosettes this year while Peyton has 60 top prizes.  Don’t bet your lunch money on this one.  We expect a photo finish.
