Mya has been very busy and doing extremely well, she has had 8 searches and 3 recoveries. I been even more impressed with the way she has worked on the ones we didn't find. She had a 3 hour track through the woods, over a fence, crossing a corn field, over another fence, and in another woods with brush so thick a rabbit couldn't go. We had to crawl on all fours for 150 yards, but nobody said it would be easy. During the time she had 4 or 5 self checks that she worked out on her own. We finally determined this could go on all night and this probably wasn't a mortal hit. Two more of the no finds were seen by same hunters the next day doing fine.We have had 5 more calls that we were unable to take. The need for tracking dogs in Ohio is great as the other trackers in Ohio can attest to.
I really enjoyed seeing Rex and Dave teaming up for a successful track. Next week is gun season here in Ohio so we expect plenty of work, last weekend was youth season. Mya is a true believer in the saying "finders keepers losers weepers" she makes a claim on her finds with the hunters, she hasn't been that way with me though. Just something we need to work on. Enclosed are some pictures of my son Wylie during the youth hunt with Mya and "her" doe.
