First series of the open had a mom and pop in the middle. Pop shot the flyer to the right. Mom walked about 10 yards tossed the bird left and walked back. Retired birds deep left and right. The work on that first series was much better when the light was good. Mid day the long right retired could not be seen very well and with the wind it was hard to hear the shot. The wind was blowing across the test most of the day and helped the work greatly on the left retired and the mom bird. Longer right retired was directly behind the flyer fall and was the bird that gave the most trouble. Most of the work was very similar. 45 called back to double land blind with a poison bird. Not sure how many back to water blind but they are finishing it this morning.
AM first series was a big test. Triple with outside 2 retired. Left retired in a ground blind in the field. To get that long left bird well required cutting the corner of a pond and swiming about 50 yards. I was there most of the day and there were only a few really good jobs. Birds were placed well and they were getting plenty of answers. 21 dogs to the second series.
Derby ran two series. Q finished but I don't have results.

Actually...the 12 were back to the water marks.
The first series was a 385 yrd retired behind the flyer crate at 125yrds with a out of sequence 45yrd third bird....it was shot .... short left...middle retired....flyer. If you picked up the birds you were invited to a 200 yrd land water shoreline blind.
The water Marks were a mid retired over and under....Long bird about 250 with a 175 yrds swim...the short retired was a cheeter to the right of the long stand out...the go bird on land to the right of everything at about 100yds.
All of the tests got lots of answers.
1st.... Taylorlabs Countest Owner Harry Loyens...Handler Dan Devos.
2nd... Holy Mackeral Der Kingplish....Owner Terry Bunn..H..Jeff Horsley
3rd... Muskies's Reef Runner ....Owner Handler James Chandler
4th... Coletta Bay Magnolia ... Owner Handler Gar Clark (that's Me)

12 back out of 60 for the 2nd series in the Qual?
That seems a bit severe to me. WOW!!!!
I agree!!! Somewhere in those 60 dogs that caused need for the killer first series were the building blocks for the future of our sport, hard working amateur trainers with one dog (maybe running their first trial) just trying to learn the game. What good does sending all but 12 home after only one series???
Two problems come to mind:
1.) Running a limited and and O/H Am cause non QAA pro handled dogs on the trucks to get thrown into the Q (for the H fees)
2.) Lack of time and club support (real or percievedf) for the judges to deal with a large minor stake field causes judges to set poor tests that often rely on luck as much as talent to get through.
I'm sure there are those out there that will disagree with my conclusions but I have a hard believing that this type of Q is viewed as good for the game.
