6th Series Announcement
Good evening … the field trial committee has announced that the Sixth Series for tomorrow will be held on Andy Kahn's property at the "Butterfly Pond." It will be a Land/Water Quad. The Test Dogs will run at 6:30 am and the first running dog, #33, will run at 7:00 am. Have a good evening …
6th Series Announcement
After Dog #33 ran the 6th Series Blind and completed it, the Judges made the decision to cancel this test due to sun shining in the dogs eyes when they are being handled to the blind. They have scrapped this test. We are awaiting further instructions from the chief marshal as to where and what the next test will be tomorrow.
The test ended for the day at 3:15 pm.
Announcement - for the 6th Series
The committee has notified us that the 6th Series Land Blind will be held at this same location, upon the conclusion of the 5th Series.

Announcement – Sun Delay
We are currently on a sun delay this morning. The judges are waiting for the sun positioning to improve for better visibility for the competitors.
5th Series Connectivity
Welcome to DAY 4 of the 2022 National Amateur Championship …
Unfortunately, we do not expect any change in the way we are having to report this series today. For those of you watching the blog out there, please be aware that in order to broadcast the blog posts, we are collecting the information about a few dogs at a time and then taking it to the top of a nearby hill where instead of "NO SERVICE," we have "SLOW SERVICE." For those who have suggested we "TEXT" the info to a remote location – that is what we always do … but sometimes, even a text won't send.
Thank you for your continued patience and, in the words of one follower ... enjoy the blog as a "couch handler!"
