Answer: Doing-This-Test-Successfully.
With 58 out of 77 dogs having run at this time, 26 dogs have handled and of those 26 handles, four of them were double-handles in this test, 5 additional dogs have picked up, 1 dog froze on delivery for the last bird, 1 broke on the second flyer, and 1 is a scratch due to a lingering injury.
In the last gunner's rotation (and we are changing guns and throwers out right now) 21% of the group of dogs have done the test without handling.
Overall, there is barely a 44% success rate (keeping the glass half-full.)
