It's A Wrap - 8th Series In The Books

It is official...The 8th Series is in the books after dog #87 Petey with handler Alan Pleasant completed their test at 1:19 pm.

We started this series yesterday, Thursday, November 14 at 12:53 pm and called it a day after dog #33 Rusty and Sharon van der Lee finished their test at 4:29 pm. We came back to Anderson this morning with dog #34 Gus and Dave Smith starting us out at 7:14 am.

We started this test with 38 dogs that took 9 hours 27 minutes to run, which took approximately 15 minutes per dog.

We had four gun changes during the duration of this test.

The challenging 8th Series looked like this...

No Bird/Rerun - 2
Handle - 15
Double Handle - 3
Pick Up - 6

We have 13 dogs going into the 9th Series without a handle.

There will be a bit of a break as we are moving back to Corning to start our 9th Series. It is about a 50 minute drive.

We will bring you the callbacks and starting dog information as soon as we get them. Go stretch, get lunch and be ready to come back and see what the judges has in-store for our teams in the 9th!
