Jolanta,
Well Mossy had to endure a few days without being able to track--it was difficult for all of us, but we made it through the week. Mossy had a very busy day yesterday--finding 5 total deer in 1 day. She was exhausted last night for a couple of hours, but then was ready to go again. She is already following me around the house whining for her collar to be put on this morning. She continues to amaze both me and the hunters--her love for tracking is astronomical. I began to doubt Mossy last night when as we were running through the woods, she stopped, stood on her hind legs with her front feet on a fallen branch about 2 feet off the ground, sniffing the branch. I told her we were not squirrel hunting and about that time I saw blood on the branch. Of course I offered my apologies to Mossy and we were off running again. Shortly we found the buck.
Mossy is one little awesome tracker. I have watched her ability to track progress with each track she works. She is a very intelligent and loving pup as you will see in one of the pictures I send.
Mossys total deer finds is now up to 19. I consider myself so fortunate to have Mossy. I have told the hunters that once she finds a deer from a 24 hour old track that has been rained in, she can join the elite trackers in her family---Tommy, Theo, Thor---just to name a few.
Tell John that I have to agree that the WHDs noses are a bit better than the JRTs. Bear was a great tracker, but had to work a little harder at picking up the scent than Mossy seems to.
Thanks again for Mossy.

Mossy with the hunter who killed the 2nd buck of the day. I try to let each hunter hold Mossy so that she gets acquainted with a wide variety of people. She loves it. |
