I have been without a computer for a couple of weeks so have some catching up to do.
March 14, 2010 the BrownStone Iditarod Litter was whelped. Six years later BrownStone Iditarod Koyuk once again celebrates her birthday as Iditarod racers are approaching the Koyuk village checkpoint. Like in Alaska, the day was very stormy (however much warmer). I grabbed the camera and rushed the dogs out for birthday photos during a brilliant sun break.
Party Pooch Koyuk
Every BrownStone puppy gets a themed stuffed animal for growth comparison and as a toy to take to their forever home. Koyuk was a tundra owl. She barely covered it's feet the day she was born.
Today the Owl barely covers Koyuk's feet.
I only got one quick picture of Koyuk with the owl before Trask grabbed it and took it to his stash under the front yard grove of trees.
I chased him around and around.
Finally when he thought he was hiding, I was able to grab it back.
Koyuk is working on her Rally-O title. Like her birth owl, she is intense and focused. To do Rally-O both the dog and handler need to be in close sink as they perform the skills indicated by course signs. I have to learn what is expected with each sign and how best to teach the skill to her. She needs to remain focused to stay with me and accurately do the skill. Here we are working on a course in class.
Koyuk has her CGC, CGCA, CGCU, TT, and WSD titles. She loves to work with me. Before her next birthday, I hope to add RN, RA, and REX behind here name.
