Good luck to Matt, his fiance Emile and their new puppy Uma, now "Heidi"! Matt and Emile live in Ithaca, NY, just 3 hours from us. Matt is a licensed tracker and a member of Deer Search of Finger Lakes. Emile is going to take a NYS DEC exam in August. Both are hunters. Matt is involved in two deer management programs in suburban areas. Could we have dreamed of a better home for our puppy? Being able to place our puppies with people who are dedicated to the cause of wounded deer recovery makes all the work worthwhile.
If a new owner has a car like this one, you know that your puppy is going to be in right hands.
Uma's conformation reminds me of Mielikki when she was a young puppy.
The remaining four puppies will stay with us for the next two weeks. It should be a lot of fun! Last evening they tracked a two-hour-old blood line on a light tracking leash. Two puppies scored 10 on a scale of 0-10 (10 is the highest) and the other two got 9. We couldn't be happier with the pups. Today we started to walk them on a leash and they did well.

Congrats to a great family Uma is going to.
She is going to the right home with a lot of future work tracking I assume.
I cant wait for my 4 pups until next autumn when they will start the hunting training more specific. This autumn they are still to Young and only training with recalls, some tracking, going with their owners in the Woods ...
