4th Series – Land and Water Double with a Drake Flyer
The mat faces East on this test.
Bird # 1 is a dead Drake thrown and shot landing about 290 yards from the line. The dog will go out and across a gravel road and then head up the far side hill. Next they will go through the 1st pond and up a steep levee, and then through a 2nd pond to retrieve the bird, which falls behind a large clump of bushes. (We will refer to this mark as L for Left)
Bird # 2 is a Drake Flyer. The gunners throw and then shoot the drake landing about 190 yards from the line. The gunners are in front of a large group of cedars on the edge of a pond that stretches both left and right. The dog will cross the field and then the road, climb a steep levee - swim a narrow pond and then climb a steep hill to locate this bird. (We will refer to this mark as RF for Right Flyer)
This test is taking approximately 9 minutes per dog to complete.
