The “Lakeside” test is a land/water triple, double blind, walk-up and a diversion shot. The first bird is the walk-up thrown to the left at 38 yards to the right of the line, bird two is thrown to the left down the pond at 70 yards and the flyer is shot to the left at 66 yards right to the left of the line. The first blind is under the arc of the flyer at 109 yards. Blind number two is directly across the pond at 97 yards, landing up a hill under heavy cover. This test took an average of six minutes per dog.
We started our day at "Lakeside" with Flight D at 7:40 am with Test Dog Wetlands Black Pearl, "Pearl" and her handler, Mark Schindler coming to the line. They did an excellent job on every element of this test. At 7:50 am, Test Dog Grassland's Bandit SH, "Bandit," and his handler, Greg Bingham came to the line. Bandit showed the gallery some of the problems you could face when you got out of site behind the tall grass. We watched the first five running dogs and saw some excellent work, one handle and a pick-up.
