Just a quick update

So tonight will be a short post as we just got home and everyone is tired.

Due to really crap weather, all of the tracking was cancelled. Bummer. This left us with the entire Saturday to eat, drink, and sight see around the beautiful countryside. We visited a local castle and gave the dogs a nice walk around in the town.

As Baxter is 2 weeks too young to compete, Freddie was our working dog. This worked out fine as Baxter would have only been tracking anyhow.  Anyway, Freddie has really found his forte in the fox hole. He did 2 fox trials:
Prova in tana artificiale su volpe (Fbja:Fuchsbodenjagdarbeit)
Prova in tana artificiale su volpe DTK/FCI (BhFK/95:Eignungsbewertung fur die Bodenjagd)

I'll explain more about them later.  Anyhow, to our delight, Freddie received 94 points (1st prize) in each trial and was the second best dog in Fbja which got him this pretty little trinket:

It's not a CACT, but we had a great time and look forward to going back next year.
