The weather early this afternoon was 65 degrees, overcast with occasional light rain and a 13 mph SW wind.

This was a smooth Series with not much to report on here! Here is how things turned out for the 9th Series…

No-Bird / Re-Run (0):

Our last running dog for this series was dog #35 Dealers Choice VIII, “Rip,” BLM with handler Bill Goldstein. The test was completed this afternoon at 12:59 pm.

There were 20 dogs sent from the line in this series, taking exactly 1 hour and 14 minutes, which averages out to be just under 4 minutes per dog running time. 

The 9th Series is officially completed and in the books! We are waiting for callbacks and then will be moving into the 10th Series next!
