hey everyone! i hope you had a nice day - such lovely weather!!

Just a quick brag that I entered Lulu in the final track of the season, and she passed with a grading of Very good! I only started training her about 5 weeks ago because i could no longer do field work and thought why not. She was a replacement entry for Ari who came into season and well lets just say I wasn't exactly expecting her to pass!! so VERY proud!!

RS the awesome thing about tracking is that while it's better to start them young, you can start them at any age. A friend of mine started her 9yo weim at the same time as her young bitch, and he sailed through his tracks, passed every single one and gained his champ title this season... her young bitch is stuck on track 5! Thing is she only started her older boy because she didn't want to leave him at home alone!! anyway, so maybe once you are done with all your other pursuits with your girls you can try tracking :)

Thanks everyone :)

Is it easier or harder to train 2 dogs for it at the same time? How hard is it to find someone to lay tracks for each other? Are there new people starting out who can't find someone to help and lay tracks for each other and seem to drop out? My biggest struggle is finding a training partner in other sports, and this is one sport where you probably can't get far at all without someone else. Would love to try Millie on it, I think she'd really enjoy it - but I wouldn't want to leave Ruby out either, as she already gets left out often of the agility training side of things. If I don't make it back to retrieving next season, maybe I could give tracking a go :)

RS - Tassie mostly lays her own tracks for her own kids. I think the first time Rory tracked anybody else was at his track 1. I was training both of mine but found it a little tricky as they both tracked differently and I was finding it hard enough to get my head around 1 dog never mind 2.

Having 2 though means you can always go and set one track for dog 1, then go off and lay a track for dog 2 and then come back and run dog 1 on their track then dog 2 on their track :thumbsup:.
