6th Series - Test Dog #2

Pedretti’s Zeus , “Zeus,” LM
Owner/Handler: Bobby Raasch, La Crosse, WI
 
7:00 am
 
Flyer - A long flyer into the heavy cover, Zeus went out and started a hunt on the mowed area. He then worked himself up the hill and into the heavy cover. Zeus needed a handle, and was having a hard to time communicating the needed direction, but he did get the bird.
 
Middle - Good initial line going up hill into the cover and came out with his bird.

Left - Good initial line past the hay bales. Then Zeus pushed his line to the right. With a couple of loops at the top of the hill, he moved more into the area of the fall. Making some more and Zeus had his bird. 

Zeus returned with his bird at 7:10 am - 10 minute test

**Judges announced a 45-60 minute delay to change out the flyer bird from a hen pheasant to a drake  mallard.**
