15 Dogs Back




............................................................................................................................................................Dogs back: 10, 20, 22, 36, 39, 49, 53, 56, 58, 66, 70, 77, 82, 90, 97. Dog 90 will start the last series.

The final test was set up and ready to go by the time the caravan from series nine arrived, and at 11:25 a.m., Jim Cope and FC Watermark's Big Chief stepped up to the line to run test dog. They did a nice job, and then the judges changed the order of the birds before Ty Rorem ran test dog Jazz. Jazz did require a handle to complete the test, but she has run pretty flawlessly all week until this test.
Handlers quickly regrouped with their dogs and at 11:53 the first dog was called to the line. Here we go!
