After the test was set up, we kicked off the series on Sunday morning with running the test dogs starting at 7:07 am. The first test dog to run was "Brandy" with handler Missy Bell, and then next up was "Zeiss" with handler Jane Patopea, giving the teams a preview of the test. On Monday morning to finish up running the last 5 dogs, 1 single test dog "Josey" with handler Missy Bell ran to show new conditions for this test.
The first running dog for this test was #40 FC Blackfoot's Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay, “Otis,” with handler Clint Avant at 7:31 am on Sunday.
The weather on Sunday had mostly cloudy overcast skies and temps in the mid 50's with light winds gusting up to 14 mph throughout the day. Monday morning was foggy and we had a bit of a fog delay, which cleared up to mostly cloudy skies and temps around 47 degrees.

Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to day #3 of the 2023 National Retriever Championship!
We are currently waiting to finish up the 3rd Series this morning, but we have a fog delay.
Our single Test Dog will run as soon as the fog clears up and then we will be ready to begin with our first running dog #35.
This morning, aside from the very notable fog, it is another cool start to the day and is currently 47 degrees and cloudy here in Creswell. Cloudy skies are expected all day, and the high temperature will be about 55 degrees, with little to no winds.
So, as soon as the fog lifts ... we will be off and running to finish up with the last 5 dogs at the 3rd Series, and then on to the 4th!
Good Luck to all of the teams running Today!
Foggy Morning at the 3rd Series
