Our single test dog to the line to finish up the 8th series was Brannagh with handler Peggy Knowles .... Brannagh came to the line at 5:54 am

F – Duck was running down the test and back to the pen after missed - Rethrew - She was out to the fall area and quickly got it!

LR – Down the middle of the pond and below the mat - drove to the middle of the field and started to turn - was handled to this bird

MR – Had the guns come out before the dog ran this mark to speed up the test - she was straight as an arrow across the field into the back piece of water to the bird

Good Morning! – Day 5

Good morning! Day 5 brings us back to the Coutu property to finish the 5th Series Land / Water Quad. 

This test has proved to be challenging so far! This morning’s conditions are very similar to yesterday. It is currently 72 degrees, and quite humid. It is expected to reach 95 degrees today and remain sunny. 

SPECIAL NOTE: We have a bit of a delay on running the test dog this morning due to sun.

Good luck to the teams that have yet to run. Stay cool!
