6th Series

  


6th Series Test Description
Water Mark with a Blind and an Honor
Lucy Too Property

Test 6 is on the same property that we were at for the 5th Series, but we moved over about 50 yards from the previous line. It is 81 degrees currently at the start of this test, with cloudy skies and the wind at our backs at about 4-6 mph. 

This test is a Water Mark followed by a Blind with an Honor. The mat sits on top of a hill, looking down at a small pond and then up a hill on the other side. 

The Mark is thrown to the left into the pond. The guns are sitting on a point at the corner of the pond. It is thrown first and retrieved first.

The Blind is run after the mark is retrieved. The line is across the corner of the pond behind the guns and then across a curving dirt road twice, going up the hill. The blind is planted about 200 yards from the mat in a small bush to the left of the trees.

Honor After the dog retrieves the blind, they move to the honor.

This test is taking approximately 2-3 minutes per dog.
