The first day of the Open National Championship started with very frigid conditions in the teens only warming into the low 40's. We were able to complete the first 7 braces today. |
|
 Mist's Sun Storm on an unproductive, he had a nice back and applied him self well on the course but suffered happy feet on another back. |
 Last year's defending Champion was in the first brace with Storm. (Her handler Collin suffered a broken back over the summer and with sheer determination was up and walking far sooner then expected and was able to handle Jade.) She had one unproductive, followed by three stylish finds buried in the cover before temptation got the better of her ending her bid to repeat her title. |

The Grand Heritage Motion was not seen after breakaway and tracker was called for. Notorious Mr. Big, had one find was up before the hour for not pleasing his handler |
| The third brace was Phillips Powder Twist and Urban Brillance. Twist was up before his hour due to a missed stop to flush. Brillance scored two nice finds in his hour and put down nice race. | |
