6th Series – Land/Water Blind with a Dry Pop

44 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs kicked off the 6th series on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 pm, beginning with "Gauge," handled by Julie Cole and then "Valley," handled by Joel Bodenman. There were some modifications made to the test after the test dogs ran the 1st time, and then they ran a 2nd time to show the new changes.

The first running dog of this series was #35 FC-AFC WOOD RIVER’S PERFECT PASS, “Lonzo,” with handler Bill Fruehling. They came to the line at 2:54 pm.

The weather during this series was very nice, in the upper 70s with clear and sunny skies. A light wind was also present around 13 mph.

Here is how things turned out for the 6th Series …
No-Bird / Re-Run (0):

Our last running dog for this Series was dog #31 FC-AFC ARMOS COLD WATER RUNNING STRONG, “Steel,” with handler Joe James. They completed the test at 5:32 pm.

44 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 2 hours and 38 minutes, which averages out to be just less than 4 minutes per dog. 

Callbacks for this series will be posted on the blog as soon as we have them.
