1st & 2nd Series – Converging Land Double and Land Blind
94 Dogs Started this Series
Test Dogs started out the day at 6:44 am, beginning with our honorary test dog "Dottie." Then came "Henry" and "Maci," giving the competitors a good idea of what they might expect for these first two series.Our first running dog #68 FC SDK's Moderation Is For Cowards, "Kikr" with owner handler Shane Olean started the 64th running of the 2022 National Amateur Retriever Club Championship at 7:22 am!
Our weather started in the 50’s and reached into the mid 60’s. We didn't have much breeze and mostly cloudy conditions for the majority of the day. All in all, it was a pretty good day to be in the field with our beloved retrievers!
Here is how things turned out for the 1st and 2nd Series…
No-Bird / Re-Run (6): 95 – 16 – 24 – 48 – 54 – 58
Handles (6): 76 – 94 – 96 – 97 – 14 – 31
Pick-Ups (2): 79 – 26
