8, 2 of the 8 are still very active amateurs, 1 other posts here from time to time, I bet he could get all of them
 
Ed would know better than I, but I think

Far left standing - Gordie Olinger
Third from left standing - Dave Mathias

 
the 2 in front reclining I do not know although one looks familiar

2nd row kneeling L-R Jim Swan, Ray Bly, Harvey Shue, Bill Connor, ?, Rufus Deskins

3rd row standing L-R Gordy Olinger, ?, Dave Mathias (if Ted says so), Charlie Hays, Tom Sorenson, ?, ?

I doubt that Charles Bearden was even aware of retriever field trials when this was taken (70s)

If Bill Connor sees this he will name them all and tell you what National it was

That is so funny I forgot to laugh.
Don't worry, I got your back...I laughed enough for both of us! I'm not sure if I was laughing cause it was a pretty good one or the thought of a Felony beat down that was sure to happen....

As Joe would say....helply help person regards,
