    Kenya's new job - tracking

    Kenya's been "retired" for about a year, I've been trying to find something that is very enjoyable and stress-free for her.  Three times now I've had her along at SchH club and done a puppy track, and each time she has taken to it like flies on a poo.  Genetically I think she is far more suited for tracking than Nikon.  She has great hunt drive and is very calm and methodical.  I feed my dogs off the ground one meal a day and this is always Kenya's favorite part of the day (she howls and does flips while I'm getting the food out).  Her father was a very strong SchH dog, multiple 100 pt tracker.  I've decided to train her more consistently for this.  Our TD thinks if we stick with it she could do a TR1 this fall (when we are hopefully having a club trial).

    I want to do tracking so bad, but there is no one in the area.

    Well we were pumped to get started today but at 8:30pm it's still hovering around 90 degrees and humid.  Tracking is one thing I cannot do in such heat!  Off to polish Nikon's obedience instead...
