Today's forecast is fog early, then clear. The same may be true for those who partied last night.

The weatherman also says the wind will shift from northeast to southeast during the day. I wonder if that will be a factor at all.

Re the Retriever News reporting:We've asked Vickie to provide a little more "color commentary " on the performance of the dogs. Vickie is quite experienced and will be able to provide some perspective without being overly judgemental. Check it out on the WRC site.

PS enjoying the fun on RTF; I can see why some are addicted!

Mark, I was just about to say that the blog reporting had giving a little subjective slant.....thank you! When folks see a great job there is nothing wrong with letting us know. Keep up the great work vickie and mark. Truly appreciated from those of us working back at home.;)

Mark,

Thanks for giving us more flavor of the event :D:D. The 22,000 hits on the National threads so far show the interest of us sitting at home or work. I am sure WRC has similar numbers. This is the Superbowl/World Series/Final Four of the retriever world. Added to that, most of us have good friends competing.

I am very happy you have got the high quality YBS videos back this year.

Thanks .Jerry has a fine lighweight camera that has awesome range. If we can just shoe horn him into a spot to get the right angle. I've attempted to ply "the powers that be" with whiskey and/or doughnuts to get Jerry good positioning.

As you may know the tests can take anywhere from 5 to 16 minutes per dog. Jerry's experience tells him when to edit( stop the camera) and then go on to the next retrieve. Should be fun to see a big quad . I hope the video can do these big tests justice. the mechanics (behind the scenes) of loading a video onto a lap top and then loaded onto a website is tedious and requires some techy stuff . Plus, most of it is done out doors, sitting in a good cell phone spot. the videos are on the WRC website.

Glad you like it. Maybe we can improve our upload technique and be closer to "real time" during the later series.

I am thoroughly enjoying the coverage brought to us be everyone, WRC, Vickie, Lainee's updates and call back list, etc....but also, now with some dog work reporting it makes it that much better!

My computer is on overload, bouncing between all these pages!!

Thanks everyone!!!

We know who has handles and such, but is there anyone there that can tell us of any dogs who have squeaky clean work up to this point??

Or is this like the playoffs and no one wants to jinx the dogs? haha
