We have finished the second and third series in the second day of competition at 1:42 pm.
This combined series started at 2:46 pm on Saturday, November 9 and finished for the day at 4:56 (two hours and ten minutes). We then continued the series at 6:34 this morning and now just completing it in seven hours and eight minutes. It took a total of 9 hours 18 minutes to get 98 dogs through the combined 2nd and 3rd series. This averages to just under six minutes per dog to complete the tests.
Everything so far is running very smoothly. We had dog #76 Abbey retire during this series due to medical reasons. Abbey has had a great career with 2014 and 2017 National Open finalist and competing in the 2018 Open and the 2016 & 2019 Amateur. She has a total of 68.5 Open points, 46 Amateur points and 8 Derby points. We wish Abbey the best on her retirement.
The callbacks will be given at the next test site. As soon as we get you will have them right here on the Retriever News 2019 NRC Championship Blog.
