They are starting to come up now.....79 & 80 just posted.
 
RTF has dog Louie 68 handling, but retriever news does not. Which is correct?
This is from the blog:

68. FC-AFC Candlewood GoldenDaze Louie “Louie” LM, Chuck Schweikert


Flyer: nice
SR: tumbled on the way out but had a good mark on the bird
LR: got to the area put up a tiny hunt and got it
RR: went over the second mound pushed off left toward the LR and Chuck Handled Louie to the bird clean
So he is listed as a handle...also keep in mind he ran late last night and the worker's party was looming....so....
 
Callbacks: 2, 3, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 28, 29, 31, 35, 37, 40, 41, 46, 47, 48, 50, 51, 56, 57, 62, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 74, 76, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 86, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, 93, 96, 99, 101, 103, 105 (total 47)

Rumor is next series is gonna be a double bind (land/water)
 
Im a little confused. Is the National Retrever championship the national open? I thought there was a National open and Am. Sorry for dumb question
The event traditionally held in November is the National Retriever Championship

The event traditionally held in June is the National Amateur Retriever Championship.

One is limited to amateurs, the other is not.

Not sure why the term "National Open" is needed.
 
NFC = National Field Champion
NAFC = National Amateur Field Champion
FC = Field Champion
AFC = Amateur Field Champion
 
Now you are talking titles. Before you were talking events.

National Retriever Club sponsors the National Retriever Championship and the winner becomes that year's National Field Champion (NFC). The same is true for amateur and you add the Amateur after National. HPW
 
So, to put it all together:

NFC = National Field Champion
NAFC = National Amateur Field Champion
FC = Field Champion
AFC = Amateur Field Champion

NRC or National Retriever Championship, or just National, is open to Pros and amatuers
NARC or National Amatuer Retriever Championship, or National Amatuer, is open to amatuers only

The winner of the National gets the title of NFC.

The winner of the National Amatuer gets the title of NAFC
 
47 back to the 6th. Double blind.
will that be considered the sixth and seventh series, or just one series ?


if it is a land and water blind, would they have the option of which one you want to tackle first ?

and if so, which one would you choose to run first ? Why
 
Dang, Pirate was dropped. Looks like he didn't have a very good 5th series. Jim Gonia and the dogs he was running, Ford and NFC Emmitt were dropped also. The 5th was a tough series as they cut a bunch of dogs, about 40% from the previous series.

Dr. Eds dog (Holland) is still hanging tough.
 
Thanks,
I was thinking there was a national open and then the National Retreiver championship. So the NRC is the national open, Right?
The NRC is the National

What is this National Open of which you speak?;-)
 
A lot of good dogs dropped. Some without a handle. Which goes to show that not all handles are equal, especially compared to a big hunt.Still some local flavor in there.Pappa Merlyn still there. Pink sister to daddy Juice still there.
 
Dog 47 starts the series...

Description: land blind with stand out gun sitting at right middle station, running SE to NW from west end of big dam 350 yards or so. Small mound near line, through trees at 250 yards.
