In a SH or MH test the dog is sent on the go bird and picks it up,instead of returning to the handler the dog goes to the second mark and without dropping the first bird,get them both in his mouth and then returns to the line.
How is this judged and why ?

No. I have a client that trains on my property and her female does this. She has it down that she either grabsthe birds by the wing or the neck,it is quite funny to watch but her owner is not amused.

So far she has been dropped for switching but only does it on tight marks
The problem here is the AKC ruled do not have an answer for this other than judges discretion
