3rd Series – Water Triple

Welcome to Day Two of the 2024 National Retriever Championship! 87 dog/handler teams have been called back to start this 3rd Series.

Our 3rd Series brings us back to “the 145” property of Roger and Kay Fuller, in Lincoln, TX. 

It is currently 65 degrees, with a heavy fog and a 5 mph NNW wind. It is forecasted to warm up to 85 degrees today.

Series 3
Water Triple

The mat faces East, on a side hill that gradually slopes to the left toward a pond featuring winding channels. This triple is thrown Left, Middle, Right.

Bird #1 is a dead rooster pheasant, thrown left to right landing 200 yds from the mat. The line to this bird requires the dog to slice into the first channel, and then over an island before pushing out toward their bird. We will refer to this bird as LR for Left Retired.

Bird #2 is a dead drake mallard, thrown from left to right, landing 215 yards from the mat. The line to this bird carries the dog into a channel, up over a land bridge and into a second piece of water before they angle out to their bird. We will refer to this bird as MR for Middle Retired.

Bird #3 is a Drake Mallard Flyer, shot left to right, landing 90 yards from the mat. We will refer to this bird as F for Flyer.

This test is taking approximately 6 minutes per dog to complete.
