10th Series – Water Triple with a Flyer and Two Retired

15 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs started out this series at 11:19 am, beginning with "Maci" and then "Henry" was up next at 11:50 am. With that, handlers got a preview of what they could expect for the 10th series. There was a short delay after the test dogs ran to adjust the test before we began.

Our first running dog was #53 AFC Razor's Buckshot, “Shooter,” LM, with handler Larry Vaske. They officially started the 10th series running at 12:44 pm!

The weather this afternoon as we began this series was in the low 80's but heated up into the 90's! We had a slight breeze from the NNE, and sunny skies.

Here is how things turned out for the 10th Series…

Our last running dog this afternoon to finish the 10th Series was dog #28 FC-AFC Buster Posey MH, “Buster,” LM, with handler Steve Kompf. They came to the line at 5:07 pm and completed the test. 

This test and the 2022 National Amateur was then officially in the books at 5:14 pm. 

15 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 4 hour and 30 minutes. There were several delays throughout this test, but it took on average of about 12-15 minutes per dog to run this test.

Congratulations to All! The Finalists and the Winner will be announced momentarily!
