Guys - After a summer of training with frozen deer blood and deer legs, I finally got to take my young doxie, Ruby, on a real "training" track yesterday afternoon. She took to the 120 yd track with enthusiasm - she corrected herself a few times on the trail as two other does ran off with the doe. It was fun to watch her first encounter with a deer up close and personal - she soon got over her shyness and was soon working the doe's ears. She did great! No points for the team, but the plus side is that the doe satisfies the earn-a-buck requirement on the land I was hunting.
