2019 NARC

Anyone here follow the National Am?

I found it fascinating to follow on the blog. Hope to one day get to go watch in person.

There is a blog that gives great descriptions of each series and also some drone footage.

Lexie was good the whole trial. I handled in the 8th, and literally pinned the 9th and 10th. I handled in the 8th, a d she had a small hunt. She and Casey deserved the win.

Sounded like y'all where having a great national. I was disappointed when I saw the handle. You and Mickey have been on a great a run an extremely consistent.

Congratulations on finishing!

Great job Robby. I had a short list of who I wanted to win and you guys were at the top with Tucker and Clooney.

A question for Robby if you don't mind answering. I will use Tucker(there were other dogs who handled in a earlier series and handled again in the 10th) as an example, he handled in the 8th as well. Then handled 3 times to complete the 10th but they still awarded him as a finalist. This seems a little off to me. Is this the norm?

Congrats on a great event and a great year Robby.

In the 10th, it is normal to handle to the birds if necessary. The first and tenth are the two series the judges aren't looking to drop dogs.
The first one I finished, the judge told me in advance that if I had a hunt on a bird I would no longer be in contention and to handle to the other bird/birds to save time. Alex knew this going in and handled to complete the test.
Unfortunately one ha Adler was not able to handle to the bird and was dropped.

Robby

Thank you. Yes he has been running very well.

Appreciate the response. I did notice the other but was more curious about the multiple handles. Saving time and no longer being in contention make sense
