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
barring any inclement weather, they should finish tomorrow, they already know what they are going to throw, just have to make the logistics happen,workers are tired,gunners and bird throwers are beat...contestants are sky high but trying to curb their enthusiasm...My guess is they trim down to about a dozen dogs for the 9th or 10th...just a wild guess
rear end pucker factor just went up a notch or two...this is getting good
Isn't Indy's owner the same Darlene that took 4th place in the Open at the Golden Retriever National Specialty with an 8 year old Golden? I think it is the same person. Very nice lady.
We are in the Final Day of the National Retriever Championship and a WINNER will be named! Stay Tuned for the play by play coverage.........http://2012nrcblog.theretrievernews.com/?m=1
Thanks so much not only for the blog, but for posting here. I don't want to jinx the dog I'm rooting for, but it's exciting to have had a play by play. Is it true that all dogs that make it to the final series are finalists?
I have tried to get away all week to go watch a series. May have the chance this afternoon as I only live about 30 min from Montgomery. Can anyone tell me where they are running today.
Thanks for any info

Go Windy! What an incredible girl. Her age does not even show in the photos. She won the National the first year I discovered the dog games and she is still at the top! What a life story is there to be told!
The Retriever Results just sent me an Email with some interesting data on the 2012 National. 90% of the dogs are black (which doesn't surprise me)! Data based on the 24 remaining dogs. Very good info!
