Preparation Is In Order.....

Professional Trainers referred to as "the coaches" in this instance where the Owners or Handlers known as "the Amateur" are competing against other Amateur Handlers from across the country. The coaches & Amateurs are organized into Pre-National Training Groups. These groups were assigned training areas surrounding the event sight by local Professional Retriever Trainers Jerry & Jane Patopea. 

Thanks to the generosity of area Professionals & Amateurs, Jerry & Jane Patopea, John & Amie Henninger, Gary & Sheri Zellner, Dianne & Alex Morley, Dan & Keely Morin, & Jack & Florence Vollstedt these groups have been able to acclimate their competing retrievers to the wet, moist climate, vegetation, & most of all this hilly terrain.
