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.
Test Ended. Series 3 was completed and in the books at 7:54 am.
