9th Series – Land Triple

21 Dogs Started this Series

Test Dogs started out this series on Friday afternoon at 7:15 am, beginning with "Fancy," handled by Dave Kress and then "Morgan," handled by Tom Hawley.

The first running dog of this series was #82 FC-AFC LABRADOR SPRINGS BLACK TIE AFFAIR, “Tux,” with handler Jack Gwaltney, III. They came to the line at 2:49 pm and had a No-Bird.


The weather to start this series was around 82 degrees with mostly sunny skies and a light wind at 8-10 mph coming from the South.

Here is how things turned out for the 9th Series …
No-Bird / Re-Run (82): 82
Handles (3): 29 – 77 – 94
Double Handles (0): 
Pick-Ups (1): 2

Our last running dog for this Series was a rerun for dog #77 
FC-AFC BENTWATER’S PERFECT STORM, “Hailee,” with handler Steve Helgoth. They completed the test at 5:43 pm.

21 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 2 hours and 56 minutes, which averages out to be a little over 8 minutes per dog. 

We will be moving on to the 10th Series Tomorrow to find out who our 2025 National Champion will be!

Have a great night everyone!
