So far so good.... Its pretty cool to see all the pictures and blog of the Pre-national training. And that picture of Slider, might be the best picture of a retriever I have ever seen on-line. Hope the trial coverage is as good as this.... or better
Seeing one of the pictures I'd like the blogettes to see if they can find out when was the last time a women born and raised in England qualified and handled a dog in the National Retriever Championship.
???
Lauren is Texan. There are other women listed as handlers. Linda Bogusky, Alice Woodyard, Patti Kiernan, Alex Washburn, Martha Russell, Lynn Dubose, Dolores Smith, probably more I missed. I have no idea who was born/raised in England, perhaps Breck can provide the answer to his trivia question.
I know Dr. Sammie and hope she does well next week. I think she came to the US around college age or so.
I'm interested to know from the historians who the last women was, born/raised in England, to qualify for and handle a dog in the National.
Anyone?
But it looks like you can not change your picks on EE.
"The trial will begin with dog number 31. The first four rotation numbers were given. They will be 31, 57, 83, 4. "
"The announcement was made that the 2013 National Open will be held in Cheraw, SC The Judges for 2013 National Open will be Larry Smith, Phil Heye, Jim Cope"
Are they supposed to go in the water or not on the blind. The description of the tests sounds like they just cross the levy. Several posts mention dogs taking the water. Which is right?
I LOVE the picture of Guide. Looks like he is chewing on a stick. What pressure?
I'm not normally one to complain because I realize that there is a lot of work going into this but I think a lesson or two could be learned from the Canadian National blogs...pics, description of tests, etc.
Nope, my old dog Tracker was a pretty respectable and respectful most of the time, But........
.....You should have seen the looks he gave me when I missed a shot.
