| Series 8 – Land/Water Double with One Retired |
 |
| The right retired at 218 yards |
 |
| The left hand gun station at 218 yards |
The right hand memory bird is a dead drake thrown slight angle back
right at 218 yards. This bird is a dead drake and the guns retire when
the handler sends the dog for the left hand bird. For this bird, the dog
runs down the slope, across the
largest of three ponds and up the other side to get the bird thrown near
the woods. The second bird is a dead drake thrown angle back left at
218 yards. The dog will run down the slope, transverse a land bridge (or
levee) and then continue back up the facing slope to get his bird.
There is a large brush pile and several clumps of grass on the far slope
that tend to push the dogs to the right instead of them taking a more
direct line to the bird. The test takes 5-6 minutes per dog.
