All I know are the Open results. It was won by that chocolate Lab I was bragging on a few months ago.

1st Winston Mark Smith
2nd Bella Sam Milton
3rd Tex Mark Smith
4th Eddie Mark Smith

I saw the entire Open since I was the last dog to run in the final series and Winston ran a heck of a trial!

How many dogs started that Open, Booty?

kg

 

[Franco]

Twenty-something. One Pro dropped out with about 10 dogs. Nothing easy about the test!

 

[K G]

Who dropped out?

And is twenty-something 21 or 29?

Mark Edwards' truck. I think about 23-25 dogs.

I got to tell you, it was great not having to wait around all day to run, the mechanics were smooth and the weather was perfect! Small trials don't happen often but, when they do, it's a heck of a lot more fun.

Winston was on! He just about drilled the long retired punch bird in the final series whereas, my dog decided to go out to sea, swimming about 100 yards past it before he was called back in.

Hey Mark, remember this thread? Someone would have gotten a great deal if they had bought this dog for $10,000.

Twenty-something. One Pro dropped out with about 10 dogs. Nothing easy about the test!

I heard Farmer didn't want to run this trial because he knew he wouldn't have a chance since they weren't on his own grounds.

In fact, Farmer mentioned this weekend that he was going to try to get all the clubs to host their trial on his grounds from now on for the sole reason that no pro's would show up.

Talk about lowering entries. Now this is an idea. :wink:

 

[Ken Guthrie]

Congrats David. That's awesome man. I'm pumped for you.

 

[K G]

The simplest way to lower entries (other than to pick bad judges) is to hold only the all-age stakes.

Just sayin'.........
