Series 2 Test Description:
MAI Flight B Series 2
SFMRG Area 4 – Rock Bridge
Land Walk-Up Triple, Out-of-order Flyer and a Land Blind
Test Name by the Judges: “Dog On-It”
When Flight B judges presented the scenario, handlers were instructed to not re-heel their dogs prior to sending them for the first retrieve. The handler could either move up to send the dog or send remotely.
After retrieving all three marks, the handler will move to a designated spot to run the blind. This spot is just to the right of where the walk-up line was located.
As the handler approaches the line, the judge signaled for a bird to be thrown. This left-hand walk-up bird was presented at 45 yards, thrown angle back left. The handler then turned almost 90 degrees as the flyer was shot to the left landing at approximately 90 yards from the line. The middle bird, equidistant between the left and right-hand bird is thrown to the right at 87 yards. There are two heavy patches of cover and a slight incline that the dogs negotiate enroute to the middle bird. As the dog returns from the last retrieve, the judge calls for the blind to be planted. The line to the blind is also through two patches of cover, up a slight hill under the arc of the middle bird where the dog will find the bird at 110 yards from the line.
