The "Baby" in the Family..

This is Carmspack Blast at approximately 3 months of age. Blast was a very brave puppy, trying out everything he came across. He came "hard-wired" to track, and has been doing mainly "free tracking" through the winter. We are now beginning to start seriously, on hard surface ahead of vegetation, and in harness and long line.
Blast at 9 months in our front fields (free tracking) taking a left turn corner. I was walking the other dogs out here previously, before laying the track in the snow for him, with three articles. He's on his way to the final article at the end of the track. There were a few new and old tracks out here for him to ignore and choose the correct one.

Blast is sitting up on a round hay bale here, after a walk through the forest and fields. He is nine months in this photo. I have to keep reminding myself that he is still a puppy!
