Test Dog 1 - Pinehurst's Ruby Doo, "Ruby", LF, handler James Hurst was our first test dog for our Series 3 & 4, Land Blind / Water Blind test. In the land blind it took 2 whistles to get tight to the tree and mount, 1 to get on the mound, she was quick to come off the mound, lost sight of her - Got It! This took Ruby about 2 minutes to complete. The water blind Ruby got into the pond but was out early, it took 2 to get to the point, on point. She refused to get off the bank - Struggled. This took approximately 2 minutes.
There is a ribbon the handlers can move to after the dog is in the water.
