The link seems to be working now on the previous page with all the info to the Nationals. Let me know if anyone still can't open it.

I did get through this time and printed out the information. I think I will be able to make the event at least for Saturday. Anybody else going?

I'll find a way to warn the bars you guys are coming...

How did the nationals work out? Did your pup suceessfully do the master fur test? I would love to see a good fur dog work sometime. I agree that some of the folks at Airedale trials should not be there and in some cases the tests have been dumbed down to accomdate them. But, since there are not allot of people who hunt with Dales I think the trial organizers just try to get enough entries to keep the trials going. I think once Airedales are allowed into AKC and Navda tests and people see how tuff these tests are, it should improve ATCA and HWA tests.

The Nationals went well. 4 of the dogs titled in fur. I have the only master fur dog which is Odin. The 10 mo old treed the tree judge instead of the coon but he did run the track better than any of them. It was fun. their perception of hunting is obviously different than mine...but these are tests. I did have a great time back there meeting people in the airedale world. Met Bill Blathens from this board which was one of the highlight of the trip.
