I just wanted to share that my girl Scarlet got her TD at the nationals tracking test last weekend. She had a stare down with a herd of deer and feasted on some tasty cow pies but she focused and found the glove. Me and my husband (the patient handler) are very proud of her. Thanks Betsy for all of your hard work making this a great field trial. Heres a pic, still waiting on the pic someone took during the deer stare down....

 Despite the considerable distraction of the deer, Scarlet did a wonderful job, and we were all thrilled when she found her glove!

Scarlet was awesome. She faced down the herd of deer without a blink, then ambled on her way to the glove as if nothing had happened. Her handler was fantastic 'trusting his dog' every step of the way.

Correct me if I'm wrong on any spellings...
Back from left to right: track layer-Sharon Hall, Judge- Stephanie Gonyeau, Judge-Sally Elkins, Front-Handler (and my husband) Bruce McKinney, Tracking Dog - Pilchuck View's Scarlet Sunrise AKA Scarlet I hope this gets written up in the Tally Ho that would be awesome! Erica I also forgot to mention that getting this TD is also very special to us because we almost lost Scarlet a year ago when she developed a softball sized abcess in her throat. Her breathing started to get obstructed and she couldn't eat or drink. A trip to the emergency vet on labor day, emergency surgery, a 3 day stay and $2700 later she was better then ever and ready to track! |

I think that's all correct. Let me add--that was one delighted novice track layer--couldn't have been a more exciting 'first track I've laid in a test'

What a great story! Congratulations to all involved! And what a pretty girl! Hope to see you in Wisconsin next year. Take care, Belinda.
