GREAT NEWS and PICS FROM MT
Received this email last month regarding Espi z Schluterton (Zarrah)
Congratulations Dawn on all your success.
Sheri,
Congratulations on the litter of pups! Sounds
exciting! Zarrah is happy and healthy. Will try and send you some
updated pics. If you want to update our/her info on your site,... I
never did get in to do any training w/ the Bozeman group,... just have
been up and running w/ the SAR training w/ High Country Search and
Rescue. We got in 2 water workout seminars this summer, and 2 other
training workouts w/ the HC SAR . They are great people and have shared a
wealth of knowledge. We will have a workout in Cody, Wy this Jan. My
goal is to get her and I certified in at least level 2 of tracking/
cadaver and water cadaver this next summer. She seems to have the most
drive tracking, with the water cadaver work actually being another very
strong drive for her. Her first time off the boat she jumped in
about 30 yds from scent and swam the cone right in to it! Then it was
another 6-8 wks before we were out in a boat again, and once again, she
caught the scent and swam directly to the source. There were other
dog teams there who had come to numerous HC SAR seminars in the past
couple years and they were very impressed w/ Zarrah and wanted to know
how long I had been working her on the water! They couldn't believe
this summer was her first time on the water. I will gladly put the
word out on your puppies. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't trade her
and her work ethic for anything!
Have a blessed Christmas season!
Dawn
