Monday, June 20, 2022 

3rd & 4th Series – Water Double with a Water Blind

92 Dogs Started this Series

The single Test Dog started out the day at 6:38 am. Test Dog "Jack" with handler Michael Moore ran the test to show if there were any new conditions on these two tests for handlers this morning. After that we were off and running! We picked back up with Dog #52 AFC Candlewood Game Of Perseverance, “Percy,” LM with owner handler Jane Dunn at 6:48 am.

Here is how things turned out on Day 2 …
No-Bird / Re-Run (2): 57 – 64 
Re-Run from Previous Day (1): 46
Handles (26): 52 – 53 – 54 – 55 – 56 – 57 – 58 – 59 – 60 – 62 – 63 – 65 – 67 – 69 – 70 – 71 – 72 – 73 – 74 – 77 – 78 – 80 – 83 – 85 – 86 – 87
Pick-Ups (1): 68
Scratches (0): 
Injuries (0): 

Our last running dog for for this Series was dog #87 FC Heartbeat's Sweet Georgia Peach, “Peaches,” LF with handler Julie Kobach. They came to the line at 12:55 pm and she completed the test, and this series was final at 1:05 pm. 

All together, 92 dogs were sent from the line for tests 3 & 4, taking a total of 16 hours and 40 minutes, which averages out to be just under 11 minutes per dog.

The final stats for both days are:
4 – No-Birds / Re-Runs
57 – Handles
8 – Pick-Ups
0 – Scratches
0 – Injuries

We are moving on to the 5th Series now and awaiting callbacks ...
