Conclusion of Series 3 - Land Double with Two Dead Pheasants

The 3rd Series started today at 7:59 am with dog # 18. We zipped through the first 14 dogs in an hour before we had our gun change after dog #32 at 8:59 am. The rest of the 15 dogs completed their series in one hour ten minutes which put the 3rd series in the books at 10:17 am, averaging just over 4.5 minutes per dog.

There were no pick up, no bird/re-runs and no dogs had to be helped out by the guns in this series.
