Ruby's Steady Training

Hi Don,

Ruby’s steadying is coming along nicely.  She’s certainly not up to hunt/field trial caliber, given the “creeping”, but she’s performing well enough for a duck hunter like me!  Here are a few videos from a recent outing.  In the first, she loses the mark when she looks up at me and takes a bad line off to the left.  I take advantage of this screw-up to practice handling her, so overall we succeed.




In the second she does better:



No sign of pigeons up by Duffus St. so I have stopped baiting - I think we’ll need to consider elsewhere.

Cheers,
-Dave
