This puts the Judges' is a great position to put forth whatever tests they choose. The Judges' have remained in total control from the word go! As they chip away at the number of dog's competing, it is obvious the Judges' have allowed the dogs & handler to eliminate themselves from the competition. The atmosphere around this national has been calm, cool and collected. People who have never met, who came to volunteer are working together like a well-oiled machine.
***A SHOUT OUT ***
to Judy Rasmuson - Chief Marshal & Barb Younglove- Co-Marshal for keeping all us ducks in a row. Not an easy feat as it is like herding cats at times.
***A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT***
to our Traffic Committee, the directional signage has been awesome!!! It has made it easy for the directionally challenged to find all the testing & training sites off of these curvy mountain roads!
There are cool temps & possible rain today. A new set of conditions the dogs have not yet been tested under. This should cover all the bases. Whomever Wins this National will have fully earned the right to be called A CHAMPION!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL GOING TO THE 6TH SERIES!!!
