4th Series

 Series 4 – Water Blind

We're here at the same field as the 3rd Series. The bird crates have been left out, and there is one visible blind planter sitting next to the crates. The running mat has been moved 5 yds to the right. 

It is 57 degrees, partly cloudy skies, and there is a slight, and variable wind. 

The blind is 262 yds long. 

The initial line to the blind brings the dogs through the same swale they crossed in the 3rd series. The water entry point is 150 yds from the mat. There is good visibility of the dog at the entry point. 

The swim is approximately 50 yds, and the bird is approximately 60 yds from the water’s exit. 

This test is taking approximately 2-3 minutes per dog.

Dog #22 will start this series after the test dogs run.
