8th Series – Water Blind with a Dry Pop

35 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs started out the Series at 6:32 am, beginning with "Milli" and then "Buddy" giving the competitors a first look at this quick moving Water blind to decide how they will handle it. (pun intended!)

The first running dog for this test was #1 NAFC-FC HOLLAND CLIFFS BLADE A FINE LINE, “Dozer,” with handler Alvin Hatcher at 7:00 am.

The weather at the start of the series was 45 degrees with mostly sunny skies and little to no breeze.

Since this was a blind, there aren't any stats to report

Our last running dog for this series was dog #113 AFC HIGH PEAK'S TANGLED UP IN BLUE, “Dylan,” with handler Samantha Thompson. They completed the test this morning at 9:56 am.

There were 35 dogs sent from the line in this series, taking a total of about 2 hours and 56 minutes to complete, which averages out to be about 5 minutes per dog. 

And just like that ... Test 8 is officially in the books!
