Flight A's second test will start with 66 dogs with five dogs being dropped after the first test: #11, #13, #50, #69 and #73.
Test 2 is a Walk-up Land/Water Triple with an Out-of-Order Flyer and a Diversion Bird. As the handler approaches the line, the judges signal for the walk-up bird to be thrown. This bird comes out from the left of the handler and is thrown to the right across a small cove, landing on the bank 35 yards from the line. The handler then swings almost 180 degrees to the right. This flyer is shot from right to left, angle back landing approximately 90 yards from the line. A duck call signals bird number three which calls the dog's attention to the trees in front of the line. This duck is launched over the trees to the right landing in the water 85 yards from the line. As the dog is returning from the flyer, a diversion shot is heard and then a bird is thrown from behind the line out towards the flyer. This test is taking the dogs approximately five minutes to complete.
The test was just underway and only a few dogs had run when it was called for lightening around 5:30 pm. We will update you on the dog work tomorrow morning.
