1st & 2nd Series – Land Double and Blind

Welcome to Day One of the 2024 National Retriever Championship! 97 dog/handler teams will start this morning, after having traveled from all over the US to compete in the 84th Annual National Open!

Our first series brings us to “the 145” property of Roger and Kay Fuller, in Lincoln, TX.

It is currently 65 degrees, with clear skies and an 11 mph North wind. It is forecasted to be sunny all day and reach 76 degrees.


Series 1 and 2
Land Double and Land Blind


The mat faces NW, on a small mound overlooking a field dotted with trees and thick cover patches.

Bird #1 is a dead Rooster Pheasant, thrown left to right, landing 225 yards from the line. The gun station retires as soon as the dog is sent for the flyer. We’ll refer to this bird as LF for Left Retired.

Bird #2 is a Rooster Pheasant Flyer, shot left to right, landing 125 yards from the mat. We’ll refer to this bird F for Flyer.

Blind: Once the handler picks up the memory bird, a duck is planted 205 yards from the mat. The handler moves 8 yards to the right to prepare for the blind.

The line to the blind takes the dog across rolling terrain, slides to the left of a haybale and through several patches of thick cover.

This test is taking approximately 5 minutes per dog to complete.
