We started our day at 7:14 am with dog #34. He have completed 3 hours 7 minutes and 12 dogs. Our test is currently averaging 15.5 minutes per dog.
For day two of the 8th Series, it is as follows...

Double Handle - 2
Pick Up - 2
This means we have only had 5 dogs compete this test today without a handle or pick up!

***Gun Change*** - 5th Series - #2
We are at our second gun change of the day at 12:07 pm.
Dog #48 started with the new gunners at 9:53 am. We ran 16 dogs complete this test (#65 being the last one) in approximately two hours and forty-six minutes. The dogs seem to be completing the test a bit faster at approximately 10 minutes per dog.
With this batch of gunners and out of the 16 dogs we have had 2 No Birds (both on the same dog and still needs to have a completed rerun), 2 handles and 2 pick ups.
We will be starting back with dog # 66 Buddy with handler Dave Rorem.
Now for something fun. I googled "Field Trial Gunners Image" and this is what popped up. Can anybody name all the gunners from 2017 NARC?

***Gun Change*** 4th Series
We have reached our first gun change of the day after dog #49 Camo completed his test at 9:44 am!
A very thin sheeting of clouds has moved in but is not affecting the lighting on the field. We have had a pick up in the wind. It is coming in from the north at about 10 mph.
The dog work continues to be consistent. Since this test started yesterday afternoon, we have had 3 handles and 3 dogs with no bird (two of them having double no bird).
We have been informed that the plan is to complete 4th Series today and that will be the only one we will run for the day!
As we get ready to get back to the running dogs, please remember to thank the Veterans today.

***Gun Change*** 2nd & 3rd Series - Conditions
Our second gun change of the day happened after #53 Hex finished his series at 11:16 am.
The dog work is continuing along on a good clip. Temperatures is similar to yesterday. Lighting conditions have been steady today with no variations in shadows to effect the test. The water has some duckweed growing in it. Last night the floating growth was confined to the back area of the pond. This morning the growth was all the way to the cattails but has now retreated to the far shore opening up the pool. Winds remain light and steady. Our temperatures are expect to climb to the lower 80's today.
If you haven't caught the Kenny Trott interview on his view of the 2nd & 3rd Series check it out by scrolling down or it the tag on the side that says "video" or got to the Retriever News You Tube channel!

Now, lets get back to the running dogs as they complete the 2nd & 3rd Series!-
