7th Series

Test 7 is  a Land Blind with a dry pop and a sluice. The mat is just right of the mat in Test 6 on the side of a hill.

When the handler gets on the mat, the Judges call for the dry pop and sluice. These gunners are at the location of the pond bird from test 6. The line to this bird is down the hill, right of the gunners at the ponds edge – back up the far hill, across the road and then go to a pile of sticks 27 yards from the line.

The judge said that he will give the dog a number and they should then "line the blind."

This test is taking each dog approximately 2 - 2.5 minutes to complete.
