I'm happy to report "Force" and I passed the FH1 last Saturday 7-21-12 in WA.
Had a heart wrenching moment when I 'thought' he'd taken the cross track. Turned out to be an unusually short leg.
Then I thought we'd missed the 3rd article. Nope, turned out articles 3 and 4 were both on the seventh leg.
Nice couple of reminders to 'trust your dog'
Also proud of the tracking brindle for a super road crossing. Gravel/dirt road which had also been driven over by the farmer in his truck before we got to it. Not a problem for Force

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year! - Location: Corinth, New York

- Tell us about yourself: French native who moved to United States 20 years ago. I'm very active in K9 search and rescue with my German Shepherd Dog, Bavo. We're certified as a wilderness trailing team by Carda and by Mendocino County Sheriff. We can be deployed anywhere in California or in any other State if needed.
My dog is about to retire and I'm now ready to search for the perfect puppy to continue my hobby and to do some Schutzhund. I'm hoping to get more information on Dutch Shepherd and their ability to work scent. - Location: Mendocino, CA
