Thanks for posting this Mary Lynn, I enjoyed the pictures and the write up about the test. Is there a list of participants anywhere? (Maybe I just didn't look hard enough?)

The Third series. The issue the dogs had with the test were mostly with the long retired mark at the end of the channel. Some dogs were getting very close to the fall they were being sent for then they would leave the area and begin hunting between the two gun stations before working it out and putting a hunt that takes them to the original fall area they had started for. Also a number of dogs did get sucked up to the area between the two guns stations before they even got near the final destination. The elment of steadiness, courage, training and of course marking were in the test. Donna Martin has a detailed write up so please go to the National Retriever Club of Canada website for pictures and description.

Starting with a water blind today with a land quad rumoured for later today.

I was at the National today. A water blind and a land triple.(The quad was turned into a triple, I assume because of time)
A bloodbath; lots of dogs getting dropped!
Some terrific work nevertheless.

For some reason I didn't notice this before, but our own Andrea Carlson is running. She and her dog Tickey Tickey Pooh Pooh, er, I mean Ticket, are #38.

Go Andy and Ticket!

Sounds like lovely weather for the dogs if a trifle cool for the gallery. Wish I could be there to watch some of it.

Just got home. Weather was great for sitting in the gallery saw some great dog work. Andrea had a good water blind and a great set of water marks (again 3 retired guns) Ammo had the best water blind in my opinion (one whistle at the shore, one cast to the blind) also an excellent set of marks, Al had a handle on one of the water marks, Connie and Ready are in good shape as well had to leave before Sledge ran. Not sure they got the answers they wanted on the water triple. Grounds were at Jim Green's and were really nice. Tomorrow they are at another site and then back to Gahonk to finish on Saturday.Should be a great finish as there are any number of dogs in contention.
