From the looks of it, Bo and Jane got surprised by the cows coming into the test. It's hard to tell exactly where the blind stake is in the video, but it sure appears as though the bovine were right where the dog needed to be to pick up the bird. I am sure the judges will take that into account. I'm glad Jane and Bo were abble to gut it out and get the blind done.

When Bo was running, you can hear the wind on the video. From what I heard that a number of dogs ran and couldn't hear the whistles.

Gary thought they were going to finish up from yesterday and then he heard it is a big land blind, and finish that in time for the workers party.

Workers psrty is always so fun!!

Should see alot of dogs getting cut today.

How many series are they going to have total? I am going back tomorrow to watch, so it seems like they will start with the fifth series tomorrow morning.

the blind today will be the 5th, if they finish it today tomorrow morning will be the 6th (land marks probably)

traditionally the 5th is marks but they are moving after today and they do not want to split a series, expect a big cut after 6

by rules of The National Amateur Retriever Club 10 series (minimum)

That'll be a shame, since 60% of the testing/series so far will have been blinds..... 8)

Marking is of pr......nevermind......... :?

Sure hope it doesn't happen that way regards,

Did anyone give Stacy the callbacks?

Does anyone know what the callbacks are - assuming they finished the 4th series???

it should be done by now, waiting for someone to get into cellphone range, Norman handled, Kweezy was excellent, O'Connell's Bull had a big hunt and a handle in the first, he is on his way home I am told

15 out after the 4th, I do not have numbers of the drops except that Norman (#7) was dropped

 

[FOM]

This is what I got so far:

After 4 - 15 dropped. Came from Mark R - unfortunately Mark and Norman are out. As is Charlie Hines and Aunt Cody- Kweezy, Pogo, Birdy, Rhoney, Kate still playing.

I agree with you about marking being the most important.

I asked Gary to call during the drive but have not heard anything yet.

Gee, remember when we used to have to wait a day or two or even till someone got home from the Natls., to know what was going on? And then if we wanted to know what the tests looked like we had to wait till FTNews came out! Times they have changed--now we get antsy if we don't hear what's going on within minutes after a test!
I've nearly worn out my mouse clicking into the internet and between the sites trying to find out what's going on.

Does YBS only do the national open ? I thought that was really to notch.

Five series have been completed today and it appears all series have been ducks. Any inside scoop why pheasants aren't available to be used?

[Trevor Toberny]

maybe once the test get tougher and they start dropping more dogs the pheasants will be used.Seems like they are being nice with the nice scented ducks.

 

[FOM]

With sage brush, pheasants would be even tougher to scent!!

Sage brush sucks!
