Tucker finds his first real deer!

Paika and Moose should be proud! One of their pups, Tucker (Storm von Moosbach-Zuzelek), just 3 months old, recovered his first deer. The deer was already munched on by coyotes as he was shot on Saturday evening. Sunday morning Tucker followed the line for around 300 yards and found it. Without Tucker's help the deer would have been lost. A big thank you to Ray and Pam Maurier for training and working with the pup, and for the exciting phone call! Way to go Tucker!

What a journey! In three months from this...

....to this. Tucker, the hunter and Tucker's deer.

Summer at three months - on a daily walk in the woods

Sky at 13 weeks

Sky is a lovely pup, who can stand up to his sister Summer. He has a very good potential for blood tracking.

A morning walk with Summer

Summer and Sky are almost 13 weeks old, and raising them together has its challenges. On the one hand some things are easier as they play together a lot and burn some energy off this way (a tired puppy is a good puppy!). On the other hand we need them to bond with us so we have to spend some time individually with each puppy, playing with them and training them on one-to-one basis. In the morning I take separate walks with pups - today I had a nice long walk with Summer, and then another walk with Bella. Tomorrow is Sky's turn. These are some pics taken during our walk.
