Lumi Test 1.6 (pass)

Test: Three singles:

1. 80 yards (dummy)
2. 240 yards (dummy)
3. 160 yards (dummy)

Configuration:

• #2 thrown 80° to the left of #1
  
• #3 thrown on a line between the lines for #1 and #2
  

Poor man marks

Clumpy 12" grass on rough but mostly level terrain

#2 thrown into high cover atop a mound covered in underbrush and unmowed grass

Bright sun, negligible wind, temperature 45°F

Location: Power line right-of-way off East Village Avenue

Pass: Yes

Blind: 80 yard cold blind with orange dummies that were out of sight until dog was close to pole; line to blind was 30° to the right of mark #1

Notes: Lumi picked up all the marks unhesitatingly and uncued, and ran with enthusiasm on speed on marks #1 and #3 as well as the blind. She was less enthusiastic about #2 for some reason — perhaps the length, perhaps the lighting or terrain? — but still completed it satisfactorily.

Lumi easily lined the blind, so no handling was necessary. I hope that letting her find a dummy to retrieve on the blind won't damage her responsiveness on whistle sits in our on-going training.
