5th Series Recap - Day 1

 Monday, June 20, 2022 

5th Series – Land Quad with a Flyer, a Simulated Flyer and Two Retired

Test Dogs started out the 5th Series beginning with "Henry" and then "Maci" was up next to give the competitors a good look at what they can expect for the 5th Series. (... and they would have noticed again, that it was going to be another tough series!)


The first running dog was #10 AFC Trumarc's Mumbo Jumbo, “Jumbo,” LM, with handler Sylvia McClure. They kicked off the 5th series at 2:55 pm this afternoon!

The weather reached up into the low 70’s and sunny skies. A nice and bright afternoon to run this test!

Here is how things turned out on Day 1 …
No-Bird & Re-Run (0): 
Re-Run (due to interference) (1): 21
Handles (5): 12 – 23 – 28 – 30 – 31
Double Handles (2): 10 – 37 
Pick-Ups (6): 13 – 14 – 22 – 24 – 29  – 36 
Scratches (0): 
Injuries (0): 

Our last running dog for the day of this series was dog #39. FC-AFC Seaside's Pompano Jack, “Jack,” LM, handled by Phil Heye. They came to the line at 7:20 pm, he completed the test, and the day was called at 7:35 pm.

Tuesday morning we will have one single test dog that will run at 6:30 am and then we will have our first running Dog #40 continue Series 5 shortly thereafter.

That's all for Today Folks, Good Night!
