Faith was in a tracking match today, and earned her certification to enter a Tracking Dog test!  We weren’t sure how she would do, as Faith has been trained in air scenting for urban and wilderness SAR, as well as trailing (similar to tracking, but with a person at the end instead of a glove), and has had limited exposure to AKC style tracking.  Well, Faith showed us just how good her nose is by plowing right through the track to the glove.  Now we just have to find a test to enter her in!

New Year = New activities for our dogs. I’ve just started tracking with Pirate, and he is showing great promise. I have also just started herding with Shadow, who is doing great! These boys really can do it all!
