Flight B – Three Ponds – Ed Arnett and Laura Judd


3 Ponds is a land/water triple shot left to right with a blind using all ducks. The left hand bird is shot to the left and is dry. The middle bird is shot back and to the right. The right hand bird is shot back and to the left. When the dog is returning with the last bird, there is a diversion shot. The dog then must run a blind crossing a small canal over a narrow point in lunging water to the end of the pond, where they get up and out and find the bird. This test is taking between 5 and 7 minutes per dog.

Of the four dogs that we watched, all had nice marks. One had a little difficulty staying in the water on the way to the blind. Everyone that we saw, completed the test.
