When the dogs come to the line, they will look out on to the same piece of water that was used in the 3rd series water blind. The dog will see the long gunners at the end of the pond 375 yards from the line. They will look to their left and see the left hand gunners on the bank of the pond 175 yards from the line. The long gun will be the first bird shot and this will be a Drake Duck. This throw is to the left. The second bird shot will be the left hand bird. These gunners will throw a hen duck down the shore to the right and it will land in some green cover by the water. After both of these birds have been thrown, the flyer gunners will come out from a well brushed holding blind 150 yards in front of the line on the right hand side. They will shoot a Drake duck in to the middle of the lake and it will be a wipe out flier for the long bird. The gunners will then sit in 3 chairs placed on the end of a point. The other 2 stations will retire at this time.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The mat is on a high hill looking towards the long lake. The line from this high hill is down a steep slope, up a levee and across a levee road before they enter the water. There are several hills, points and mounds that a dog could easily slip behind and be lost from sight. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"></div><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Ninth Series test was changed during our fog delay. The long gun was moved into the front, left-hand corner of the pond at the end of the levee. This gun is approximately 140 yards to the left of the line and throws a drake duck. The duck falls into a slot behind a fallen tree at the edge of the water. The second gun is on the left side of the pond at 175 yards throwing a hen duck to the right into heavy green grass in the water. The third bird is the flyer station located out on a point 150 yards in front of the line on the right side of the lake. This drake duck is shot to the left and lands behind the point and is sluiced. All three guns retire. The Ninth Series is a "round the horn" test: left, middle, flyer. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Tenth Series is on the side of a large hill looking out on a huge draw. The left-hand bird is a rooster pheasant flyer shot to the right at 230 yards. The middle bird is a dead hen pheasant thrown to the right at 330 yards and it retires. The short-right station is a live hen pheasant shot the left at 175 yards. The far right station will through a rooster pheasant severely angled back to the left at 250 yards, they will then retire. The order will be middle, short-right, long-right, left. When the dogs leave the line they will go down a very steep hill. The terrain is steep, rolling and has a thousand places to trip them up. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Two test dogs ran...Test Dog one, Bobby Smith with Pride, had a no-bird on the last bird down flyer. Test dog two came to the line, Mark Medford with Mollie, he had a handle on the right retired bird. Bobby Smith returned to the line and had a handle on the short right flyer. It has taken approximately 12 minutes per dog. Dog #86 will start and will come to the line shortly.</span><br />

#25 had a double-handle and got hot, overheated. He appears to be alright, but was taken back to the parking are in a four-wheeler to a standing ovation from the gallery. Since then, there has been a no-bird on #45.<br />
<br />
Three dogs to go...the dogs have been doing the test fairly well, but there have been some hunts. Everyone is anticipating the closing ceremony...<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is a no-see-'em water blind with a hen pheasant placed by a small bush 262 yards from the line. The mat is on the back side of a ridge. The instructions to the handlers stated that once the dog crosses the crest of the ridge, the handler can move up to the top of the hill. The dog tops the ridge and goes down a steep incline. At the bottom of the hill is a cedar bush on the left of a "slot." Just to the right, by the side of a pond, there is a bird boy sitting in a chair facing the line. The dogs must pass between the cedar bush and the bird boy. They enter a small stock pond, swim to the end and cross a piece of land. They then enter a small stock pond. There is a small point that is on line to the blind. Once the dogs exit the pond they continue up the hill to a small bush where they find a hen pheasant. There are decoys in the first cove beyond the second point.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We have run about half the dogs in a little over an hour. Dogs seem to have been taking their casts. Most pros are attempting to get on and off that small point. The blind is averaging 2-3 minutes. By the way, they say it is going up to 65 degrees today...that seems hard to believe just now!</span><br />

The middle bird is a hen pheasant thrown to the left at 250 yards; this mark is retired. There is a small cattle pond at the base of the hill, in line for the bird. The second bird down is to the left of the line at 175 yards. This is a hen mallard flyer shot to the right that retires. The line is down the hill across the dried portion of a pond and back up a hill. The holding blind is wrapped well so it looks like a pile of thorns. The third bird is the go-bird. This is a mallard drake flyer shot to the right at 200 yards. The line to the bird is down the hill, running down the top of a small levee into a piece of water, over a point, back into the water and then drive up a hill. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">At the conclusion of test 8, the marshal announced that we would move to the location for test #9. This will be a water triple with 2 retired and a wipe out flyer. When the dogs come to the line, they will look out on to the same piece of water that was used in the 3rd series water blind. The dog will see the long gunners at the end of the pond 375 yards from the line. They will look to their left and see the left hand gunners on the bank of the pond 175 yards from the line. The long gun will be the first bird shot and this will be a Drake Duck. This throw is to the left. The second bird shot will be the left hand bird. These gunners will throw a hen duck down the shore to the right and it will land in some green cover by the water. After both of these birds have been thrown, the flyer gunners will come out from a well brushed holding blind 150 yards in front of the line on the right hand side. They will shoot a Drake duck in to the middle of the lake and it will be a wipe out flier for the long bird. The gunners will then sit in 3 chairs placed on the end of a point. The other 2 stations will retire at this time.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The mat is on a high hill looking towards the long lake. The line from this high hill is down a steep slope, up a levee and across a levee road before they enter the water. There are several hills, points and mounds that a dog could easily slip behind and be lost from sight. The difficulty of the test combined with the natural elements will have our handlers planning their strategy all night!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The first test dog, Mark Medford and Molly; came to the line at 4:08 pm. They picked up the flyer and the left hand retired with ease. Molly had to be handled the very difficult long retired bird. The test took 18 minutes to run.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bobby Smith and Pride then came to the mat after the judges moved the line closer to the pond. Pride was clean on the first bird, handled on the left retired bird and then made the huge swim to the end of the lake for the long retired without a whistle. Bobby gave a loud cheer and the crowd responded!</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Last night a front came through with a very loud thunderstorm at around 11 pm or so. It poured with rain and many loud claps of thunder were to be heard by this reporter. While in the hotel breakfast room, I asked many people what they thought of the storm. Their consistent reply was "What storm...when?" So many people have been working so hard that they slept right through it! The extra amount of rain we got will certainly not improve the muddy conditions we experience every day on the Lampkin property.</span><br />
<br />
Test #6 is a land quad with two flyers and three retired guns. The line is located at the top end of a long draw. Rolling hills cover the sides and all Angle towards the bottom.Standing on the line, the left hand bird is 230 yards from the line at the bottom of the draw. This is a dead hen pheasant thrown to the left between two ridges. This bird is thrown third and is retired. The middle left bird, at the far end of the draw on the top of the hill is a retired station at 320 yards. This station throws a dead hen pheasant and retires. This is the first bird shot. The third station, the middle right flyer, a rooster pheasant is shot to the right at 260 yards and then the gunners retire. This is the second bird thrown. To the far right of the line at 200 yards, the right-hand flyer station shooting a duck to the left. The gunners for this flyer go-bird remain visible.<br />

They're going to the left and down the hill, some having deep hunts almost back to the middle-left retired. We have run through dog #78 and we are currently re-birding and will begin with dog #64 which originally was a no-bird, and now unfortunately has been picked-up. The test takes somewhere in the range 10-13 minutes per dog. </span><br />

The line is on a hill and the flyer is on a hill 175 yards to the left side of the line with a deep draw between the two. The flyer is a hen pheasant thrown right to left and is the first bird down. The middle bird, a hen pheasant, is thrown second; it is 150 yards across the pond thrown right to left, retiring behind a well brushed blind. The right-hand bird, a duck, is the go-bird. This bird is also thrown right to left; it is across the pond at 90 yards and has the gunner retiring behind another brushed blind. The pond has two decoys placed so that the dogs must pass them on the way to the marks. There is an honor to the left of the line.</span><br />

But it is cold, brrrr--a brisk 37 degrees, same as in Wisconsin, this morning! On a happy note, today's sponsor, Avery Sporting Dog, has replaced the Retriever News tent so we will be well-protected from the elements. THANK YOU, David Carrington and Avery!!</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These two gentlemen have been visiting from K2 Solutions. Retriever News has been working with them to find started dogs to aid soldiers in Afghanistan. Bobby George has offered to write an article on the relationship between the trainers and their dogs. After months of careful conditioning and training, the dogs are paired with the soldiers and then their work really begins. These soldier/dog teams have extraordinary experiences together that are hard for you or I to imagine. Be sure to look for an article in a future Retriever News early next year describing their inseperable bonds. Thank you, Bobby...looking forward to reading it.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

Frost covered windshields greeted the handlers in the parking lot with the gauge reading 35 degrees. There was a low ground fog early as the workers were taking their places in the field. Test dog Molly was run at 6:50 am, handled by Mark Medford. The first running dog, #32, came to the line at 7:00 am. The work has been pretty good this morning with clear skies and a gentle breeze. We have run 20 in the first two hours with some hunts but no handles and no pick-ups. There has only been one no-bird. More pictures and information later.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

They are runnning from the top of the hill down the side of it crossing a very small stream going back up the far side hill. You loose sight of the dog for a few seconds. Some dogs have fallen off the far side and headed straight right. There are hay bales marking the hazards and the handlers have full lateral movement.</span></div><br />

</div><div align="left"><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today we continue the third series water blind with about 37 dogs left to run. The third series is directly behind the land owner’s home, located on a hill that overlooks a lake. The test has the mat on the hill. Dogs must go down, cross a levee road, drop off a hill and into the water. They then swim across an inlet and cross a large well-scented point. The dogs must be well up on that point. There are decoys on the back side of the point. The dogs then swim towards a fallen tree. The line is to swim under the trunk, get out on the other side and the bird is at a small bush up on the bank. The handlers have been advised that lateral movement is OK.</div><br />

</div>The 4th Series is a Water Triple with an out of order flyer. The line is on a hill and the flyer is on a hill 175 yards to the left side of the line with a deep draw between the two. The flyer is a hen pheasant thrown right to left and is the first bird down. The middle bird, a hen pheasant, is thrown second; it is 150 yards across the pond thrown right to left, retiring behind a well brushed blind. The right-hand bird, a duck, is the go-bird. This bird is also thrown right to left; it is across the pond and has the gunner retiring behind another brushed blind. The pond has two decoys placed so that the dogs must pass them on the way to the marks. There is an honor. Starting dog #87 handled, #90 and #21 have handled and both #92 and #95 have picked-up. The next dog is now going to the line.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Everyone was cold and wet after the rain and wind today. The mud seemed to cover clothes, purses, boots and anything else that was carried out on the grounds. Late this afternoon our gracious land owners wife brought out a homemade sour cream pound cake. It was still warm. I can not tell you how good a warm piece of rich pound cake can make you feel when you are freezing to death! A picture of this family and highlights of the day will follow.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div> <br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">We have awakened this morning to pouring rain which is expected to last through most of the day. We are providing a photo taken yesterday afternoon, so that you may more clearly see the test. The first and second series combination is a double with one retired and then a blind. The field has beautiful rolling hills and well trimmed grass. There are 8 to 10 hay bales scattered across the landscape. All birds in this series are rooster pheasants. The first bird thrown is 230 yards from the line and the bird thrower retires behind a well wrapped set of hay bales. This bird is thrown from right to left. The flyer gunners are located 230 yards from the line. The flyer is shot from the left to the right. There are 2 small oblong ponds by the line. that the dogs might clip the corners going for the retired bird. The blind is run from the same mat and is 225 yards to the right. The correct line has the dog entering the small pond about 1/2 way down past a point. They then exit the end of the pond and drive to a small bush. The blind in the 2nd series is NOT a water blind. The judges have simply used the water as they would any other hazard. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It is 48 degrees and pouring rain, the ground committee has once again done an outstanding job. Committee <br />
members have been busy putting out straw under the tents, in the holding blinds and filling potential slick spots. Everyone is in their rain gear, hats and boots making it difficult to make out who is who. There was one lone person in the gallery to watch the kickoff of day two. At 6:48 am, the test dog with Mark Medford has gone to the line and once again done an outstanding job. At 6:58 am, dog #26 came to the line to start day two. There has been a no-bird for dog #30. The work seems to be excellent today despite the conditions.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div align="left">The third series is directly behind the land owner’s home, located on a hill that overlooks a lake. The test has the mat on the hill. Dogs must go down, cross a levee road, drop off a hill and into the water. They then swim across an inlet and cross a large well-scented point. The dogs must be well up on that point. There are decoys on the back side of the point. The dogs then swim towards a fallen tree. The line is to swim under the trunk, get out on the other side and the bird is at a small bush up on the bank. The first test dog ran at 9:38 am, and the second test dog ran at approximately 9:50 am. The first running dog started at 10:08 am. The handlers have been advised that lateral movement is OK.</div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><br />

Mitch Patterson has stated that because of the rain delay, we have lost about 30 minutes of time which means that we possibly might not finish this series today.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">It is now 12:30 pm and the 20th running dog, #86, has come to the line. The rain has stopped but not before making some of the roads and fields a hazard. Luther Davis, the announcer, has broadcasted a message from the trial committee asking everyone to stay parked unless they are leaving.<br />
<br />
This has proven to be a very difficult blind for some. The temp has dropped and a lot of dogs are not wanting to get wet, they are looking for a shortcut to land or not wanting to get back into the water off of the point. There has been only one pick-up but a wide range of performance for the judges to review. A few dogs have done exceptional work, including a wonderful effort by John Stracka and Mercy. With freedom to move laterally as needed the handlers have been very active. Dog #87 just completed the blind to applause.<br />
<br />
The test is averaging 7 minutes per dog with 89 dogs to run, looking at 10 1/2 hours of water blind, so we know it will be a split test.<br />
<br />
The calves were cut from the cows today. There were many complaints to be heard in the "cow" gallery and no amount of "shushing" was going to keep them quiet. Several made their way into the area of the test and parking. The newly formed "cowboy comittee" did their best to round 'em up. Some, however, got by these ranch hands!!<br />

Dog #94, FC-AFC Coolwaters Hurricane Alley, has had to scratch due to illness.<br />
<br />
We have reached the halfway point and there was one pick-up, dog #71. The work has remained the same; some very good and some who continue to have troubles with the obstacles. But the handlers are working hard. Dog #17 is currently at the line...<br />
<br />
<b>ANNOUNCEMENT</b>: Only contestants with dogs yet to run the water blind will be allowed to drive onto the grounds tomorrow morning. All other contestants and gallery must park at the landowners shed and walk in. <br />

The start to the 2010 National has dawned clear and 45 degrees. At 6:35 a.m. the National Anthem was sung by Mark Edwards and Mark Smith on the PA system. They did a wonderful job kicking off this years event. The first and second series combination is a double with one retired and then a blind. The field has beautiful rolling hills and well trimmed grass. There are 8 to 10 hay bales scattered across the landscape. All birds in this series are rooster pheasants. The first bird thrown is 230 yards from the line and the bird thrower retires behind a well wrapped set of hay bales. This bird is thrown from right to left. The flyer gunners are located 230 yards from the line. The flyer is shot from the left to the right. There are 2 small oblong ponds by the line. that the dogs might clip the corners going for the retired bird. The blind is run from the same mat and is 225 yards to the right. The correct line has the dog entering the small pond about 1/2 way down past a point. They then exit the end of the pond and drive to a small bush.<br />

The first test dog to the line at 6:43 a.m. was Bobby Smith with Pride. They did a nice job of paving the way for all of the dogs who followed. Mark Medford was next to the line at 6:48 a.m. Mark and his female Mollie, picked up the birds clean and had a one whistle blind.. The first running dog, #39, came to the line at 7:03 a.m.with Luther Davis announcing. Out of the first 7 dogs, we have had 2 no birds and a pick up for dog #44. Dog #48 has handled.<br />

The Head Marshall has asked that I take the time for a special note. The blind in the 2nd series is NOT a water blind. The judges have simply used the water as they would any other hazard. There will be a gun change every 20 dogs. In the first group of 20, we had some problems with no birds. Dogs # 42, 45, 49 and 54 all had a no bird. Dog # 49 actually had 2 No Birds. The rules for the Nationals state that the dog will move back 6 places in the rotation. We had a pickup for dog #44 and . There were applause from the gallery after #58 ran. <br />

As the 2nd group of 20 handlers came to the line to view the test, the temperature had warmed up to 58 degrees with a very clear sky and a brisk breeze blowing across the test from right to left. Dog # 74 was picked up on the blind and there was a handle for dog #76 on the retired gun. Several times the applause reached the line after some excellent jobs. Lynne DeBose with Jerry Lee and Dave Smith running Viggi really seemed to please the crowd with their work.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

When the 3rd group of 20 handlers were allowed to come and view the line, it was 67 degrees and hardly a cloud in the sky. The wind does not seem to be enough to cause issues and it is generally just a BEAUTIFUL day. There is almost NO internet coverage at the test site and Verizon does not seem to play in this area. We are having to travel back to town to be able to post this report and to add all of the pictures...more to come. <br />

There are cars and dog trucks from all across the country. Starting at 9 a.m., the Merchandise Committee opened their doors. They were well staffed with the hostess and sales have been brisk all day. Brenda Little was set up in the lobby of the hotel with all of the Luck Lab pins, her lanyards etc. Molly Schlachter had a table set up with pictures from the previous Nationals and all of the information to have shots taken for 2010. She announced that this year, EVERY dog will have an action shot taken along with the normal photo with the handler. Suzanne Medford and Tal Broyles have done a beautiful job with the hostess committee. The Purina bags were stuffed and ready to go as each handler checked in. Across from Molly, the Retriever News had a table stocked with the new Callback directories, Judges Manuals, copies of the latest issues of the News and binders that will hold the slick new version of the magazine.</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> There was discussion about the use of ATV's in planting a blind and retiring the blind planter or retiring the bird thrower.. There were several other questions concerning the legality of the distance a blind planter or a gunner could move and the tracks that ATV's leave for a dog to follow. Bill Totten talked in behalf of the PRTA. He was discussing the applications for grants. He reminded the audience that the PRTA has grants that they give to Field Trial Clubs who own their own land and want money for grounds improvements. He stated that the clubs who would like to apply for these grants should go to the on line web site for the PRTA grant application. The site is currently down but will be back up soon.<br />
