Hi Alta-Tollhaus family!  Just a quick update about Rudi and his SAR training.  He is doing fabulous!  Today was wonderful as he tracked his first long, 200 yds., track which was crossed.  He made the correct choice when he had to and found his victim.  There were a pair of sandhill cranes making a good deal of noise and he didn’t even turn to see what all the fuss was about.  They are about 3 or 4 feet high from what I can tell.  I really wasn’t wathcing them as I’m still learning to read a tracking dog.  Rudi is really loving his play/work.

Julie, again…thank you so much for our RUDI!!!

Thanks Julie and Hal!

Tracking – this was the longest and most aged track we’ve ever done, also the farthest ahead I’ve had him work (used a 35′ line and I stayed at a knot placed at 15′).  The straight part went pretty well.  We missed the corner because I could not see where it was and slow him down.  I could see the track looking back, but not when it was in front of me.  He tracks very well as far as ignoring distraction.

This is one of my favorite pictures!  Schumi looked flawless once he got into his rhythm.

Gotta train Nikon before it gets dark *snort* and then I will post the rest.
