RETRIEVING AUSTRALIA FORUM

Well, what a contrast this week. After having heavy rain for almost two weeks, everything is green, and, the river which was a thin strip with barely enough depth in ponds for dogs to swim, to a river quadrupled in width and depth, and flowing well. Some of the Novice dogs had never seen running water and took a good hard look before crossing. A good days trialing with only a couple of light showers made it quite pleasant. Ellie Johnson brought in rabbits for two of the Restricted runs, which is great to have, and, the dogs didn't disappoint in their pickups. Results are as follows:
