4th Series

Test 4 is a Water Double

We've got all 49 dog teams back to the 4th series! Test 4 is set up in the Derby Field. The day has now warmed up to 65 degrees, with clear skies and a light southwest wind.

The running mat is facing southeast, looking out across a field featuring two ponds with steep levees.

Bird #1 is a dead hen mallard. The gunners sit 223 yards from the line and throw their bird Right to Left and angled in. It lands behind a willow tree. The line to this bird requires the dog to climb the levee at an angle to enter the water. We will refer to this bird as L for Left.

Bird #2 is a drake mallard flyer. The gunners sit tight to a group of cedar trees 178 yards from the mat and shoot their bird from Left to Right. The line to this bird requires the dog to climb the levee at an angle to enter the water. We will refer to this bird as F for Flyer.

This test is taking approximately 6.5 minutes per dog.
