An ideal day for retrieving with a clear blue sky, and a gentle breeze. A tad warm for the cooler clime dogs, but the Queenslanders must have enjoyed the warmth. Four very testing runs sorted out the competitors, with the first two being land runs and the last two runs over the river. The Retrieving club committee did a great job in organizing the day, even having a gift for each dog entered. Our appreciation must go to MAVLAB VETERINARY PHARMACEUTICALS for their generous sponsorship of this years event. Congratulations to all who were involved in the planning of the trial, and a huge thank you to the many people who came along on the day to work in the field, some of whom, don't even run dogs in retrieving trials. Many thanks from all of us.
