The third day of the 2019 National Retriever Derby Club Championship started of with a brisk fall morning. We were informed that dog #15 A.G. had scratched, so we were going to start this 7th Series Water Double with a Hen Mallard Flyer with 23 dogs.
Our first test dog, Kate with handler Sue George came to the line at 7:56 am and had completed their run at 8:04 am. The first running dog # 13 Songbird with Mary Tatum handling came to the line at 8:17 am. During the 3 hours this test took to complete, we had 4 no bird/re-runs with one dog #19 receiving two of them. We also had one handle. The last dog to run was #1 Ivy and handler Kevin Cauley on their re-run, and they completed their test at 11:20 am.
Getting 23 dogs through this test with the 4 re-runs took approximately 7.5 minutes per dog.
The Eighth will start with 19 dogs that got called back. Five dogs were dropped after the Seventh Series.
