Ruger Series 1

Dog #169 - Ruger

Ruger did exceptionally well. Despite his no bird that didn't get called. He started by picking up the short bird, no problem. The left bird gave him a little problem, but after a reasonable hunt he got it. The flyer came out of the station and headed straight behind it. It hit the ground and they shot it again. It really should have been a no bird, but it all happened so fast that no one called it. Ruger headed out just fine, but wouldn't hook the gun station and started to hunt. Once it was apparent he was not going to get it Eddie began to handle him. The flyer station was positioned at the left end of some thorny cover, so when he cast him over he could no longer see him and he was on his own to find the bird. He was a good dog and found it quickly as we all held our breaths. The judges said they would not count it as a handle since the bird landed where it did.
