Hypothetical question
You are a Master judge. First series. Dog comes to the line and picks up the triple in a clean and unremarkable fashion - a credible job, no problems.
Lines up for the blind, handler sends dog, dog leaves....at a walk. Handler proceeds to handle the dog very cleanly, work is precise, takes just a few whistles to pick up the blind, but the dog is walking, and at most, speeds up to a trot when he winds the bird at the very end. Handler is quiet and calm. The dog doesn't look beat down or scared, it is a young to middle aged dog (not an old timer), and ran at a normal pace for marks.
How do you judge that?
NO this is not my dog...haha
