8th Series – Water Blind

21 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs kicked off the 8th series on Friday morning at 10:22 am, beginning with "Fancy," handled by Dave Kress and then "Morgan," handled by Tom Hawley. Handlers got a good look at the test they would be running shortly.

The first running dog of this series was #54 FC-AFC CLARENCE RUTHERFORD, “Lumpy,” with handler Jim Horneck. They came to the line at 10:48 am on Friday morning.


The weather at the start of this series was nearing 80 degrees with partly cloudy skies and 10 mph breeze.

This was a quick Water Blind Series so there is not much to report ...

Our last running dog for this Series was dog #52

21 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 1 hour and 22 minutes, which averages out to be a just about 4 minutes per dog. 

We will be moving on to the 9th Series!

Stay Tuned!
