Well the entries are is and the trial has been drawn. We drew 42 dogs for the championship and 12 derbies. The courses are all laid out and ready to go.
These are a bunch of really good dogs many of them champions. I am excited to see them all go. Also looking at the handlers I did a quick count and I think the handlers in this trial have won in excess of 100 championships everywhere from The Northeast to the Northwest and from ND to Texas from Georgia to Canada. These handlers have won on quail, chuckar, prairie chickens, sharptails, huns, pheasants, ruffed grouse and woodcock. They have won National Championships on just about every game bird also. The amount of experience is staggering. Its almost hard to comprehend that the guys coming to run in this trials as a group have won championships in every venue from the grouse woods to all age, both walking and horseback shoooting dog. It will be fun. I will try and keep the blog updated on a nightly basis, and hopefully we can get some good photos to share.
Thats all from the farm tonite.
