Our Fearless Announcers...


....Announcer Bob Lindgren and his co-announcer, Bob Beyer, pose in the early a.m. hours for my candid camera. They're doing a great job. Announcing dogs in full in the first and last series, with titles and owner and handler names, along with regular announcing throughout the trial, adds a nice dimension to the National. Both of these Minnesota-grown fellas have radio-quality voices...and lots of National and trial experience.
