She lives with my friend in Michigan when I gave her up due to me being far to busy with Church activities to properly tend a dog. I now enjoy her from a far but still feel she is part of the family.
Her only litter is now 2 years old and her daughter was the winner of a Group 2 in the United Kennel Club show, and she has her Masters title in Barn hunting.

To keep it Hamster related that photo was taken when Michael and I took a trip to the Pennsylvania/ New York border to trade Pedigreed Hamsters with two other Hobby breeders and the kids in the photo were the grand children of one of the Breeders. |
I will keep an eye out and give one a stroke on your behalf!
I would absolutely love to do Barn Hunt with my boy, but it doesn't seem to have made it's made over to the UK yet
We do a lot of scent tracking and obedience exercises, he loves to use his nose & brain, and would be in his element with Barn Hunt. We do our own version though, with scented training dummies and rabbit-skin dumbbells on our rural walks.
