Alchemist Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Wahoo, Scott and Kuro 122! Well done!!! Sounds like it's hot out there. Sorry I had to miss today, but I'm hoping to catch tomorrow's nursery runs. I'm bringing my new 70-300 mm lens with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Great job, Kuro!! I've been watching the scores all day. Alchemist, lucky you! Can't wait to see your pics. Our trainer is running tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I'll have to post them tomorrow - getting them loaded and labeled before I lost track of who was who took a while. Paula: who is your trainer? I didn't manage to get photos of everyone but if anyone would like to see photos of someone in particular's run from Sunday I'll try to put some up - if I have any, that is! All I can say is that: it was hot; the sheep apparently had been pastured near the exhaust so there was a STRONG draw to the left (as the humans faced the field, that is) and a lot of dogs had trouble making the fetch gate and especially the second drive panel because the sheep felt they were Heading Home. I have to say that the dogs and their handlers were truly inspiring. Sorry I won't be able to make it during the week; I'm very grateful to Heather for her commentary.

juliepoudrier Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Is there a list somewhere of the dogs going back for the nursery finals. I realize I could scroll back through all of Heather's tweets and make my own list of those dogs, but surely someone knows who they are, although I can't find it posted anywhere. J.

Alchemist Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 The "Results" are now posted, but I haven't been able to find today's running orders yet. One of Heather's last posts said the cutoff for today was 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 The nursery scores section on the USBCHA website now has the full list in order. Looks like the cut-off was 103. No run order, but at least we can see who made it into the second round. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Update: Francis is back and has things updated. Here is today's run order. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Alchemist, my trainer is Angie McCrann. She and Mollie DQ'd, unfortunately. Sounded like the draw to the exhaust got them, too. Just in case you got any pics of them. Sounds like Robin had a beautiful run started, I'm sorry it didn't go better. Diane, congrats to Kuro! I'm going to go check out today's running order, even though I'm supposed to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Paula, I'm so sorry I didn't get any shots of Angie's run! I'd have taken some if I'd known. It started off very well, but I think I heard Mollie was showing signs of the heat, which was why she retired her. Bill did indeed do extremely well. He had a lovely fetch and was one of the few dogs to get all three gates. The area near the exhaust was, indeed, a huge draw. A lot of dogs had trouble making the fetch gate and with the second drive gate, as the sheep REALLY wanted to head in that direction. Unfortunately in Bill's case, his group really got the bit in their teeth (so to speak) after the second drive gate and wouldn't listen to reason. I'll look for Bill to do well in the Open runs this week. I should have my photos uploaded soon (though I should be working - oh, well, I'll get to that tonight!).
