I have been sitting here watching the dog work through midday. I have
been trying to figure out why the dog work has been as good as it has
been. It seems that the dogs that are to the left climb the hill to the
right and find the holding blind and end up getting the bird with
varying degrees of hunts. One other observation is the difference in
color of the brush around the holding blind. I am not sure if the dogs
can see the difference in the color? These dogs today are so well
prepared and difficult to trip up. After just writing this, the next had
to be picked up. One thing for sure is that there will be lots of
changes in the dog work over the course of a 11+ hour test.
This
test is a break from tradition, typically the 5th series is more of a
land test. This test uses quite a bit of water. It's a good thing today
with 80 degree temperatures. This is hump day and there is lots more to
come. Stay tuned.........
