    Rumor is Bearden and Bearden are throwing a delayed quad with two momas and poppas. Both fliers are shot into the test. You pick up one bird, run a land blind and then they throw the next moma and poppa. You then run the water blind. If you are called back from that, then you pick up the three remaining birds. Rumor is the test will take about a half hour if a dog does both blinds and finds the three birds. Should be done by Saturday and then they go to the water marks!

    Donno. Just imagine what the numbers would be if the pros were running all their dogs.

    The first series was scrapped after 13-14 dogs ran. The new test is a triple. Long retired gun in hay bails. Short retired gun along a pond shoreline. Fluer shot hip pocket to short retired gun.

    The word i just heard is that the dogs are smacking the new test. I do not envy the judges!

    Question : when a test is scrapped, do they start back at the first dog or take up where they left off when the test was stopped..

    Is there any word on what happened or is happening in the derby? Did they finish or who is called back if it goes to tomorrow?
