1st Series – Land Double

60 Dogs Started this Series

After the National Anthem, the Test Dogs started out the day at 7:50 am, beginning with "Kidd,"with Sue, and then came "Roscoe," with Kody giving the competitors a good idea of what to expect for the 1st series. 

Our first running dog #48 Silvertip’s Ring Of Light, “Halo,” with handler Al Vezey started the 1st series running this morning at 8:07 am!

The weather conditions were fairly temperate and we had partly cloudy conditions for the majority of the day.

Here is how things turned out for the 1st Series…
No-Bird / Re-Run (10): 5 – 7 – 9 – 10 – 12 – 16 – 21– 34 – 52 – 60
2 No-Bird / Re-Runs (3): 7 – 9 – 52
Pick-Ups (4): 3 – 8 – 33 – 52
Scratches (2): 47 – 55

Our last running dog for the 1st Series was dog #46 Supersonic Flyboy, “Yeager," with handler Gary Mausolf. They came to the line at 1:01 pm and completed the test. This test was in the books officially at 1:05 pm.

60 dogs were sent from the line in this series, taking a total of 4 hours and 58 minutes, which averages out to be just under 5 minutes per dog. (however it actually turned out to take about 3 minutes for each dog to run) 

Callbacks have been announced and we are heading into the 2nd Series, which will begin shortly!
