The Spaniel Annals

This tracking photo, taken by the talented photographer Lisa Kaufman, does not at all capture the soggy fields of Bow, Washington today.  I just forgot my camera!   Today Reardon and I drove up to Bow to practice for the tracking tests coming up.  Bow was his nemesis in the spring, and so I wanted to have a confidence-building session, and today was the only free day I had available to make the two-hour drive.

All of my track-layers were off on their own activities, so Reardon tracked me.  I figured that was fine; he loves tracking me, and the more success the better.  All went very well. He handled his corners quite efficiently despite some major changes in wind, and never really had a moment’s hesitation.  I’m hoping for success in November!
