Test is eating the dogs up (as expected).

Jeff and his Ipad may have a future in journalism, tell him thanks from those of us at work!

You have no idea how big a deal it is that he's doing what he's doing with his iPad......he definitely shouldn't quit his day job.

No birds are a factor, rarely are they positive more often they are negative. If there is a particularly difficult gun to pick out a second look might help but the downside is dogs rarely watch the birds the second time as they did the first time.

I certainly agree with Ed, rarely is a no bird helpful. The only thing that might be of benefit in this scenario is for the early dogs: by having to drop back 6, there's more opportunity to get a little more scent laid down.

This series is bloody so far - 4 pick ups, 3 handles, 1 double handle and no-birds galore. Feel bad for Tie and Moses who got a 2nd no-bird.

Wonder if anybody will leave the short right retired until last. HPW

I don't follow nationals of any type, but having that blog with interview videos and up-to-date information on each dog's run (as well as one can have it) is way cool. Nice setup.

A little tighter GE angle: LRG pulled in a little, RR a bit wider. Same disclaimer applies.

From reading the RN blog, it looks like they have started picking up the long left retired before the long right retired? Is this correct?

Very nice info on the Blog. Just wondering, can they pick the marks up in any order. What is the order??
