6th Series – Land Blind

43 Dogs Started the 6th Series.

We began this morning with running the test dogs starting at 7:32 am. The first test dog to run was "Zeiss" with handler Jane Patopea, and then next up was "Brandy" with handler Missy Bell, giving the teams a look at this Land Blind test.

The first running dog was #28 FC-AFC Execution Southern Style – LETHAL, “Lethal,” with handler Jason Baker at 8:02 am.

The weather this morning was mostly cloudy overcast skies, a light drizzle and temps in the upper 40's.  

This was a very quick test with not much stats to report ....

Here is how things turned out for the 6th Series…
No-Bird / Re-Run (0): 

Handles (0):
Double Handles (0): 
Pick-Ups (1): 74
Break (10):

Scratches (0):

Our last running dog for this series was dog #26 NFC-CNFC Truline's Just Floyd, “Floyd,” with handler Amie Henninger. They finished the test and the Series was completed at 10:10 am.

There were 43 dogs sent from the line in this series, taking exactly 2 hours and 8 minutes, which averages out to be just less than 3 minutes per dog. 

The 6th Series is officially in the books! We will be moving on to the 7th Series after we get the callbacks!
