1st & 2nd Series – Land Double and Land Blind

99 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs started out the day at 7:20 am, beginning with "Brannagh" then "Rett" and finally honorary test dog "Mesa" made one final retrieve before retiring. This gave the competitors a good idea of what they might expect for these first two series. 

Our first running dog #55 FC-AFC SEASIDE’S ISSHEIT, “Zoey,” BLF with handler Chad Worsell came to the line at 8:00 am.

The weather today was sunny with a high of 70 and an 8 mph wind from the North.

Here is how things turned out for the 1st and 2nd Series…
No-Bird / Re-Run (4): 56 – 74(x2) – 76  
Handles (0): 
Pick-Ups (2): 22 – 78
Scratches (4): 51 – 54 – 91 – 102

Our last running dog for the day, and for Series 1 and 2 was dog #74 
JAYBAR CAPTAIN MACOMO, “Captain,” BLM with handler Jerry Younglove for a re-run. They completed the test at 6:06 pm.

99 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 10 hours and 6 minutes, which averages out to be just about 6 minutes per dog. 

We will move on to the 3rd Series tomorrow! Have a great evening everyone! Callbacks will be posted soon!
