Beasil earned the first leg of her HCT, and showed how nicely she's maturing. She was controlled kept the stock together without
putting too much pressure on them. Thanks to Laura Noll for handling her!
And Beasil's cousin Mack (Double Take's Flight leader) and Jeremy earned both legs of their JHD -- way to go!

| Going Tracking |
|
| Our First Time @ 14 Weeks |
B seems to have inherited her mama Shelby's nose. From early days
in the whelping box she showed great facility with that sense of smell.
Our first outing to the tracking field was on Wednesday, May 25, 2005. We started with a scent
pad peppered with treats. Her response was curiosity. The second scent pad was familiarity. By the time she got to the third
scent pad she was eager and when encouraged to investigate the steps leading forward she just switched on! By the forth step
her nose was just 'hoovering' like mad. (Sandy was standing about 15 feet away and remarked "Listen to that...!")
We're looking forward to many more adventures.

| Working girl at OB class |
After finishing their puppy kindergarten class, Beasil and her sister Mitzi enrolled in a Novice Obedience Class. At
the first class the instructor was a bit shocked at how well they both did. "Has anyone here had training before? I
thought so -- it shows!"
Way to go, girls. = )
At 13 months Beasil is even more excited about tracking. We've begun to include turns, serpentines, and she just 'hoovers'
her way through them! In a few weeks the dirt field that we've been using will be planted with corn, so we'll take the next
step and switch to grass/mixed cover.
What an adventure!
Stay tuned for more as she grows....
We'll post updates more regularly on our blog:
