Herding
We have now dedicated an entire page to herding, so please click here to visit our herding adventures!!!
In 2004, Jewel and I started tracking. This is a new sport to both of us, although we are familiar with it. Starting off with a dog that has natural drives in tracking is an asset too!!
Here is Seeker tracking, May 2007. We are still actively tracking now with Ruckus, Jewel and Seeker. At the age of one year and one day in June 2007, Seeker and I did our first tracking trial here in Alberta ..... we did not pass but learned a lot from the experience and can't wait for our next chance at a TD trial! We attended a seminar just outside of Calgary in October 2008 by AKC/CKC tracking judge and instructor Ed Presnell. It was a super seminar, we learned a ton and Kalli. Wicca and Ruckus all came out of the weekend with a great foundation to track! Carting is a sport that I have never done before and I am very interested in getting started with Jewel. I am taking the advice of a number of different people and starting Jewel off by pulling both a tire and a small toboggan with some weights in it. This was she is getting used to having something behind her. She is also learning the commands I will be using to go ("let's go") and to stop ("whoa"),
Here is Jewel all ready to pull Sarah We have recently purchased a beautiful draft cart and we will soon be starting Jewel on some serious draft work. Hopefully, if all goes well, we will be able to trial Jewel for her DD (Draft Dog) title and maybe even get little Seeker started on some pulling as well.
Here is Caemon pulling Emily in February 2004 at the Newfoundland Club's annual carting extravaganza! Caemon is Aunty Traci's big man and the sire of our 'Harry Potter' Litter. He is formally known as Multi V-Rated Am. Ch/Select Can. Champion Rothburg's Kourage Under Fire ZtP CDX Am. CD RA DDX BH CS CI HIC CGC TT but we just love him!! Here are some great carting links to go to to learn more about carting and the equipment and all.
