10th Series – Water Quad

18 Dogs Were Called Back to run this Series

After the test was set up, Test Dogs began the Series this morning at 8:07 am, beginning with "Milli" and then "Buddy" giving the dog teams a good look at this large Water Quad for their 10th Series.

The first running dog for this test was #87 FC-AFC BLACKWATER DEXTER, “Dexter,” with handler Dale Willard at 8:55 am.


The weather this afternoon had temps reaching into the mid 70's with partly cloudy skies and light winds at around 5 mph.

Here is how things turned out for the 10th Series…
No-Bird / Re-Run (1): 77
Handles (8): 1 – 2 – 27 – 34 – 38 – 76 – 78 – 101
Double Handles (1): 31
Pick-Ups (0): 
Scratches (0):

Our last running dog for this series was a rerun for dog #77 FC-AFC PINETREE'S PARTY GIRL, “Snookie” with Handler Delma Hazzard. They completed the test this afternoon at 2:14 pm.


There were 18 dogs sent from the line in this series, taking 5 hours and 19 minutes, which averages out to be about 17.5 minutes per dog. 

The 10th Series is officially in the books ... and we will find out who the Winner of this year's National Amateur is very soon!
