great recovery for hard-working tasha

And with a very pleased hunter!
Tasha braved the high temperatures and humidity to recover a nice buck. The arrow deflected off the shoulder blade and exited the paunch. He backtracked and crossed his own trail twice. He swam across a barrow pit with at least one alligator in it....we went around! Although the buck was only a couple hundred yards from where he was shot, we covered 1.25 miles tracking one hour and twenty nine minutes. Lots of this time I was on my hands and knees crawling through the willows, kudzu and cockaburs! There were only two small spots of blood on the entire trail. Tasha continues to amaze me and she was awesome today! ~ Cliff Shrader, Louisiana

Tasha and I went to the deer lease this morning. We had planted food plots last weekend during one heck of a rainstorm and we went to check things out.
Picture
It was 94 degrees and almost 80 percent humidity. If was a scorcher and the heat index was out of sight.
Picture
I put Tasha on a long stay. She watched as I walked 150 yards to the other end. If you look closer, you can see Tasha at the end of the food plot patiently waiting for me. She has been a breeze to train. ~ Cliff Shrader, Louisiana
Cliff, you are doing a great job teaching Tasha impulse control!

Taya at 10 weeks
And today is Taya's second birthday. She and her four sisters and one brother were born in Denmark at Kennel Tranevang. We are very grateful to their breeder Lise-Lotte Schulz. Many thanks, too, to Marie Gadolin who provided us with a number of photos and comments about each pupster. It was not easy, sitting here in Ohio, and trying to decide IF a puppy and WHICH puppy.

"Puppy" became "puppies" and half the litter is in the US. Taya is with me, Tasha is with Cliff Shrader and Cheryl in Louisiana, and Thor aka Seymour is with Derek Smith and Jennifer in Virginia. We are all VERY GLAD to have them!

Their sister Terra is at home with Lise-Lotte.

The photo is Taya, two weeks after coming to the States and a few minutes after a warm August tracking session. We walked to the pond for the first time and she, at 10 weeks of age, went right on in. It tells a lot about her nature.

Happy Birthday to the T litter!

tasha earns her oak leaves

5/19/2014

0 Comments

 
Tasha has passed the advanced test at the annual United Blood Trackers Trackfest which was held this year in North Carolina!
Picture
Tasha with oak leaves
The UBT-II test is a tracking test where 6 ounces of blood, or three ounces of blood and a deer hoof, are used to lay a track of at least 800 yards. The track will have three turns and two wound beds and will be aged at least eight hours or overnight. 

Our track was aged overnight and was 0.52 miles...about 900 yards. The conditions were heading south as it was heating up and drying out when we started out. Our judge was Larry Gohlke, a well known handler who has acquired numerous awards over the years.

The oak leaves signify a successful track and are presented to the handler of the dog out of a sign of gratitude and respect. These leaves mean a lot to me because Tasha was born in Denmark and moved here to help me out. Tasha looks good in her leaves and I can't stop smiling. ~ Cliff Shrader, Louisiana
Super performance; It is a wonderful accomplishment, Cliff! 
Congratulations to you and Tasha!!

tasha on practice track

5/4/2014

Owl and Tasha mated again this morning. Then Cliff laid a track for Tasha, an AKC-type track this time, meaning Tasha tracked where Cliff walked; it was not a blood track. 

Graciously, Cliff invited me to run Viljo on the track first. And Viljo, who had not tracked in months, did a very nice job! After that, Tasha ran the track, too. It was becoming warm but she is one motivated tracking dog and her performance was impressive! Following are some photos I took of Tasha on this track, with captions.

While Tasha is in Ohio to be mated with Owl, Cliff Shrader and I visited Jennifer Fry and Gretel in Columbus. Before this weekend, Tasha and Taya had not seen each other since they were eight weeks old at home in Denmark. But they get along fabulously and have played hard. It is quite interesting to see that the sisters are so similar in habits, expressions, size, and even their voices.

Thank you, Jennifer, for the visit and photos!

Cliff, this is just awesome all the way around. Congratulations to you and your super tracking partner Tasha! Good girl, Tasha!
I will write it up, a really hard track with track 1.94 miles and ran him to the bank of the Mississippi River. What a great way to end the season. - Cliff Shrader, LA

longhaired dachshund loves to hunt ducks

After I posted the photo of Siiri yesterday, her owner Ilse Kokkonen sent this picture that I have not seen before. It was taken this past August during a duck hunt, which Siiri loves to do.

Sirri is paternal grandmother of the youngsters Taya, Tasha, and Thor, who also love to swim and are steady to gun. You can see photos of Taya's First Swim at age 10 weeks.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop. This is what happens when your tracking dog goes an entire weekend without tracking! Tasha tracks down and finds my deer hair identification cards!  - Cliff Shrader, LA
Those took a bit of time and effort to put together. I'm glad that she did not do much damage to your 'cheat sheets!'

young longhaired dachshund assists young hunter

Tasha track 32 ends in recovery of a young hunter's first buck. There are not many things more rewarding than watching a hunter see his buck for the first time after he thought it was lost. Tasha knows what she is doing and stayed focused on her track with deer in the same field. She stayed on her track with a rabbit jumping and going the other way. I was worried but she held her line. I am proud of her.  - Cliff Shrader, LA

Cliff is, of course, referring to his young tracking partner Tasha. Nearly 3 miles of tracking - and success!! What a wonderful ending to a marvelous effort.

Tasha is pictured below with the hunter holding his buck, also her canine colleague Alleah, owned by Andre Guerin.
Picture
This is the new longest track for Tasha. At one point we went 800 yards with no sign at all. This buck was shot yesterday breaking the right rear leg at lower hindquarter. We caught up to it this morning, he was still alive. What an amazing little girl I have! - Cliff Shrader, LA
Picture
Tasha, the tracking machine. This was a tough one, brother in law, on the dogs and us. But when it all was over, it was worth every moment!! Good job, Cliff and Tasha!! - Andre Guerin, LA
Picture
I just downloaded the track information from my Garmin. Total track was 2.85 miles. The deer was 1.3 miles from where we started tracking in a straight line. No wonder we are tired! Not a bad way to start the morning. Happy hunter = Happy hounds - Cliff Shrader

18 months old Tranevang's MA Tashatax, born in Denmark and living in Louisiana, is already a very talented deer tracker.  I very much look forward to meeting her when our paths cross, Cliff!

Tasha goes out on track number 25 tonight. To make it just a little bit better it was for a good friend of mine. This was the first deer that he shot off his new property. I was very happy to be part of it. - Cliff Shrader

Tasha and I went on our first track of the year last night. The track was about 12 hours old and there was no blood after the first couple of hundred yards. After we were convinced that she was leading us on a wild goose chase, she brought us to the deer. This was her tenth recovery out of thirteen attempts. I'm so proud of her. 

- Cliff Shrader, LA
Congratulations to Cliff and Tasha!
