4th Series Test Description

For Test 4 we’ve moved to the Dam Field. It has warmed up to about 70 degrees, and it is sunny with a 2 mph wind.

The mat sits on top of a hill, facing North West and overlooking a cluster of ponds.


SERIES 4
Water Single

The gun station is positioned 241 yards from the line. A hen mallard is thrown from right to left, where it lands a few feet off shore in the lily pads. The line to this bird requires the dog to angle down the hill, past a small pond on their right and into the big pond. The dog must then angle across a prominent point and push down the shoreline to the bird.

This test is taking approximately 5 minutes per dog to complete.
