SFMRG Area 1 – North Field
Land/Water Triple with a Water Blind and an Honor
Test Name by the Judges: “Nightmare on Blind Street”
Monday, May 17th - Tuesday, May 18th 2021
On this Land/Water Triple with Water Blind and Honor the dogs are coming to the “Duck Blind” (that the judges have constructed using 2021 5th Anniversary MARC holding blinds) and they are very excited. Before starting the Third Series, the judges gave the scenario that today is January 20th, it’s early morning and the temperature is 20 degrees. The working dog and handler will look out the left side of the duck blind while the Honor dog and handler will look out the right side opening. The judges explained that three marks will fall starting on the right with a bird being thrown directly at the duck blind landing on land 34 yards away in very tall heavy cover near the corner of the pond. The second mark is the middle mark which is being thrown to the right landing in a cove of very thick duckweed (Lemnoideae is a subfamily of flowering aquatic plants, known as duckweeds, water lentils, or water lenses. They float on or just beneath the surface of still or slow-moving bodies of fresh water or wetlands). The third bird is to the left of the duck blind being thrown left along the edge of the pond in tall thick cover; this cover includes cattails and several other native weeds and grasses. The middle mark in the water and the left hand mark are both landing approximately 35 yards from the line. After all three marks have been delivered to the handler, a water blind (the judges did emphasize water blind) is to be retrieved. The blind is down the shore of a point to the left of the right hand mark, 50 yards from the line.
