3rd & 4th Series Test Description

1458 GA-308, Smithville, GA

Double Blind

This is a Double Blind on a different side of the same property.

Test 3 is a Land Blind. The mat sits at the West end of a pond up under trees facing east. This is a Land Blind to the right of the pond. The line to the blind takes the dog from the mat, across a narrow farm road angling down a hill.  From this point forward the dog must hold the side of the hill through some cover, down and back up a dip and on up the far side to the bird which is 238 yards from the mat.

Test 4 is a Water Blind.  being run parallel to the Land Blind from the same mat. Again, the dog will start under the trees and cross a narrow farm road and go down the hill. The dog must skim the edge of the water almost 3/4 of the way down. The dog will enter the pond next to the 1st tree in a set of 3 and swim to the end of the pond. They will climb a hill at the end and find their bird 241 yards from the mat.

Each Blind will be planted separately.

This test is taking approximately 5-6 minutes per dog to complete both Blinds.
