I can tell you what my groups tests were, hopefully someone will come and tell you what the other groups did.
The first test was a walk to heel in and out some poles, leave your dog at the top sitting, there was a dummy thrown that they saw and you had to recall them to you, sit them up and send them for that dummy when the judge said.
The second test was a single marked dummy thrown, what I dunno 40 odd metres away into cover under a tree.
The third test was a blind retrieve, one dummy under that same tree, blind meaning the dog didn't see it being put there.

I'm still in shock that Bracks came 2nd. OMG! To think she was the hooligan from hell not so very long ago. Is anyone missing a dog? I seem to have exchanged my maniac/nutter/fruit loop for a well mannered and well behaved dog! Can't believe it!!!!! I was quite nervous about taking her away for a weekend. Visions of her destroying B&B rooms, running amok, and leaving me muttering 'I'm never taking her away again' and throwing in the gundog towel. I'm so proud to be able to say that she was an absolute pleasure the whole weekend. Love ma dawg!!!
Massive thanks to a certain lady (who knows who she is  ) who has helped me with Bracken no end. It's down to her that Bracks behaviour is so much improved.
Erm, tests, can I remember what our groups were? I'll try.
Test 1
Heelwork, sit/stay, recall (I think?)
Test 2
Heel work, sit/stay, place dummy inbetween dog and handler, dog retrieves dummy
Test 3
Heelwork in a sort of V shape around a post. Sit dog up and walk back to starting point (so handler walked a triange in total), recall dog.
I think marks were out of 10 (???) if we stayed on-lead and out of 20 if off-lead.
Don't know my marks, but think I got 59 in total and think I dropped a point on retrieve as Bracks delivery was pants.
The run-off for 1st and 2nd was a short marked-retrieve on water. Bracks did well, but spat the dummy as soon as she came out of the pond.
Congrats to all, I thought everyone did really well
