A Look at the Rest of the Day

It is now the evening and everyone is confident that the 6th Series will be able to finish today – some time between 8:00 and 9:00 pm – likely closer to 8:00. The judges have gotten a lot of answers with this serious "big dog" land quad with two flyers and two retired birds which is set on the challenging hilly fields of Valhalla.

The strong wind has continued for most of the day although thankfully the rain that threatens keeps sliding by for the most part with an occasional sprinkle but has held off from soaking the spot we are on.

With 54 dogs having run so far, we have seen 7 handles, 12 pick-ups and a break. We have watched some pretty big hunts and also some very savvy jobs by dogs that clearly understood this tough test.

We are told that the 7th Series is planned to be here at Valhalla also although entry might be from a different gate. The scheduled starting time has not been announced but will be posted on the blog as soon as we get it. The starting number for the 7th Series will be calculated after call-backs have been prepared.
