AKC Gun Dog Championship

[Brooks Carmichael]

Has anybody heard how many entries they received in both retrieving and non-retrieving?

[dan v]

60 in the Ret..... 78 for the non.....30 for the derby

[Brooks Carmichael]

That is very low numbers. They usually have close to 90 in each. Real good for Derby for it's first time.

Brooks, maybe the mid March date has something to do with?

I still have over a foot of snow on the ground, with 5-8 on the way by Tuesday. There isn't much dog training going on here, nor much horseback riding.

You are probably right about being so early, along with the National German Pointing Dog Championship is going on at the same time in Pinkneyville, Ill.
