Test Dogs - 7th Series

Hockley Creek's Cyclone, “Cy,” BLM
Owner: Robby Bickley
Handler: 
Robby Bickley

First test dog up for the 7th Series test was Cy and handler Robby Bickley ... Cy came to the line at 7:32 am

LF (Left Flyer) - Down the bowl to the big bush behind the flyer guns - started up towards the dead rooster station and was handled back to the flyer.

R (Right) - This is the bird Cy wanted to get from the start! He ran the base of the dam out to the area behind the gunners where he established a hunt - moved in front of the guns and got it! 





Livin Tha Dream’s Truth, “Tru,” BLF
Owner: Glen Dudley
Handler: Don Fregelettte

Next test dog up was Tru with handler Don Fregelette.... Tru came to the line at 7:40 am

LF (Left Flyer) - 6 shots - I think they hit it but it was very wide left - dog had trouble finding this bird and the handler had to help

R (Right) - Ran the base of the dam - up into the fall area and straight to the bird.



This test is taking approximately 8 minutes per dog to complete.
