Fifth Series Land Triple in Progress

47 dogs were called back to the Fifth Series. Dog No. 86 started the Land Triple at approximately 11:15 am. It rained most of the afternoon while this test was in progress with the temperature in the 50's.

The Fifth Series is a Land Triple with two retired guns and a flyer which is the last bird down. The birds are 350, 300, and 250 yards from the line and the middle and right-hand guns retire. There are many long hunts on all three birds, especially the two retired guns. A few dogs have picked up after being out of sight for a long time. Dog No. 64 was the last dog to run when the test was shut down for the day at 5:00 pm.

No partial callbacks were given by the judges during the fifth series.
