Laddie Test 1.7 (pass)

Test: A triple:

  1. 75 yards (dummy)
  2. 240 yards (dummy)
  3. 135 yards (dummy)
Configuration:
  • #2 thrown 45° to the right of #1
  • #3 thrown 60° to the right of #2
Poor man marks, long wait for dog at the line

Lawn, except that #1 was thrown into unmaintained high cover and underbrush

Retrieve order: #3-#1-#2

Overcast, wind calm, temperature 35°F

Location: Soccer fields off Homecrest Road

Pass:
Yes

Blind: N/A

Notes: This was our second attempt at Test 1.7. Earlier in the day, we tried it at another location, but marks #1 and #2 of that test were only 20° apart and both dogs were confused by that.

Both dogs ran nice 185 yard target blinds at that time, though. No retrieval article, good whistle sits.

For this test, Laddie did great. This triple was unusual for us in that the "go" mark was not the shortest, which we ran second instead.
