The last day and the last test of the 2018 National Retriever Championship is in the books. Series 10 at Siren Field in beautiful Paducah, Kentucky officially finished at 12:18 pm.
Starting with the first running dog #3 who received a no bird, gave time for the Field Trial committee to meet and amend the 10th series just a bit by having the flyer be thrown to the left instead of the right. Calling #19 to the line, who also had a no bird brought up our actual first dog to run this test was #29 at 10:17 am. Taking almost exactly 2 hours to complete this Quad, it averaged almost 11 minutes per dog to run their 10 series.
Here is what happened in the 10th...
No Bird / Rerun: 3 - 19 - 45
Handle: 32 - 55 - 84
What an exciting NRC this was. It has proven to be a challenge during the tests and with the weather.
Sit back as we get ready to announce the 2018 National Retriever Club Champion!!!
