In The Books - Series 6 - Land Blind - Review
This was a quick moving test. Good thing considering the snow started to come down! The Sixth Series ended at 3:39 pm.
The first running dog #75 Jack came to the line roughly about 1:45 pm. The last running dog #74 Clooney. 37 dogs ran this 6th Series just under 2 hours. It took each dog just under 3 minutes to complete their test.
The snow is coming down and looks to be continuing throughout the evening. Please drive safely as the road conditions are not the best.
We will post the Callbacks as soon as we get them!
Stay safe, dry and warm tonight!
