We began the Third Series with #29 NFC-AFC Bayou Teche Swing For The Fence, "Foxx," at Mallard Pond around 7:38 am with all 93 dogs. Foxx was the first of 12 handles for the day. There were only five no birds today - much better than yesterday's count of 14. Thankfully, there were no dogs who had more than one. There were also no pick ups, double handles, or scratches.
Overall it was a beautiful day with moderate temperatures and breezes and plenty of sunshine. While the sun kept things comfy, it did cause some issues with shadows in the late afternoon. The judges called the series for the day at 3:58 pm after dog #78 FC Sliders Close Call At The Plate, "Safe," completed his run. The runs averaged 11.2 minutes, not taking into account any gun changes.
We'll resume the test tomorrow morning with the test dog running at 6:30 am at Mallard Pond.
