Water Blind

Welcome to the 7th Series! This morning we’re kicking off a Water Blind at the Coutu property.

It is currently a much more pleasant 67 degrees, overcast skies, with a soft 4 mph North wind.

 

A hen mallard is placed 360 yds from the running mat. The mat faces South East, 30 yards in front of a pond with a winding shoreline consisting of several points.

 

The line to the blind carries the dog through an initial corner of water before they must cross a gravel road and back into a larger pond. The dog is then faced with several re-entries.

 

There is a small brush pile 10 yards in front of the running mat. The handler is allowed to move up to the brush pile as soon as the dog gets into the second piece of water.

This test takes approximately 7-9 minutes per dog.
