We kicked the 9th series this afternoon with running our test dogs starting at 12:24 pm. The first test dog to run was "Brandy" with handler Missy Bell and then next up was "Zeiss" with handler Jane Patopea, giving the teams a preview of the challenges they would be facing in this test.

The first running dog on for the 9th Series was #12 FC-AFC Boo's Straight Line Is A Good Idea, “Torq,” with handler Isaac Langerud at 12:56 pm.

The weather this afternoon continued to be mostly cloudy with overcast skies and temps up into the low 50's.
