Hi Jolanta, hope all is well with you and John. Just thought I would
give you a update on our new pup, Razen Kane, Rosco's daughter. I have been
working with her since she was 10 weeks old, trying to lay a track once a week .
She is about 7 months old now and shows great promise as a tracker. She has been
successful on about every track that I have laid for her. My wife Claudia is her
main handler but she will also track for me. We have done nighttime tracks,
woodland tracks, prairie grass tracks, wetland tracks, and tracks in the rain.
Most tracks are at least 24 hrs old, and range from a 1/2 to 3/4 mile
long, using minimal blood, 2 to 3 oz. on most tracks. Her longest track has been
51 hours old, and she had no problem with it. She is a great little tracker.
I'm
sending a picture of Razen and Claudia after their first blind track, which was a 1/2 mile
long and only 6 hours old. I laid it and told them where the beginning was and to go
and bring me the hide. It was a great training exercise for the both of them.
They had to truly work as a team to pull it off. We have also ran both dogs on
the same track at the same time letting Razen lead the way so that we can try
it this season. Claudia will do daytime tracks alone but night time, I will have
to go with her. We are both looking forward to a great tracking season this
fall.
Best wishes and good luck,
Ray, Claudia, Rosco, and Razen Kane

Very nice!
Love that "doxy crate" on the front of the 4 wheeler, too!
