8th Series

 8th Series – Water Blind with a Dry Pop

The mat faces southeast, and the blind is approximately 230 yards long. The dry pop is called by the Judges as soon as the handler and/or the dog hits the mat. The gunner is hidden from the line, and becomes visible to the dog almost half way through the blind. 

The initial line to the blind angles down a hill into the first corner of water. It then crosses a land bridge and slices into another thin corner. The dog must then cross 2 points, and finally swim across the final piece of water. The blind is approximately 8 yards from the water’s edge.

This test is taking dogs approximately 5 minutes to complete.
