3rd Series Recap

3rd Series – Water Triple

87 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs started out the series on Sunday morning at 6:45 am, beginning with "Boogie" and handler Suzan Caire, then "Jake" with handler Michelle Visel. We had a 3rd test dog on Sunday morning after some test adjustments were made, which was "Wizard" with handler Alex Washburn. Monday morning we had a single test dog as well to finish up the series. This gave the competitors a nice view of what they could expect for this series. 

Our first running dog on Sunday morning was #56. FC OUTBACK’S RISING STAR, “Champ,” BLM, and handler Steve Yozamp came to the line at 8:46 am to kick off the 3rd Series!

The weather on Sunday morning started off with a fog delay, which cleared and gave way to a warm day that was partly cloudy with a high of around 85 degrees and a light 5 mph wind. Monday morning when we finished up the series, it started out most clear and about 60 degrees.

Here is how things turned out for the 3rd Series…

No-Bird / Re-Run (1): 30

Handles (6): 3 – 16 – 48 – 53 – 62 – 63 
Pick-Ups (1): 60

Scratches (0): 

Our last running dog for this Series was dog #53. FLEX’S JUST ONE MORE TRAVELING TRACE QA2, “Trace,” BLM, with handler Hunter Street. They completed the test at 7:54 am Monday morning.

87 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 9 hours and 37 minutes, which averages out to be just over 6.5 minutes per dog. 

We are moving on to the 4th Series next! Callbacks to come ...
