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.

Fog Delay

 

Thick fog has rolled in and we are currently having a Fog Delay in starting the 3rd Series. When we have more information we will make a post, but currently we are on hold ... Thanks for your patience everyone!

Our last running dog for the day, and for Series 1 and 2 was dog #23. FC-AFC JIMAVICHE’S HOLLANDAISE JAMMER, “Jammer,” BLM, with handler Kenny Trott for a re-run. They completed the test at 4:33 pm.

97 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 9 hours and 27 minutes, which averages out to be just under 6 minutes per dog. (however, the actual average is probably much less since we had a lot of No Birds)

We will move on to the 3rd Series tomorrow! Have a great evening everyone! 

**Callbacks will be posted this evening with instructions for tomorrow**

Test Ended. Series 1 & 2 was completed and in the books at 4:33 pm.
