4th Series – Water Blind

84 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs started out this series at 11:58 am, beginning with "Rett" then "Brannagh." This gave the competitors a good idea of what they might expect for this Water Blind. 

Our first running dog #97 AFC HUNTLEIGH’S QUINTESSA, “Tessa,” with handler Bruce Ahlers came to the line at 12:13 pm.

Since this was a Blind there aren't any stats to report on ...

Our last running dog for the day, and for Series 4 was dog #96 FC-AFC RMR’S WON’T BE STUMPED, “Mugs,” with handler Sarah Love. They completed the test at 4:11 pm.

84 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 4 hours and 13 minutes, which averages out to be almost exactly 3 minutes per dog. 

We will move on to the 5th Series Tuesday Morning! Have a great night everyone!
