[Tasha is Taya's sister. They turned six months old on Sunday.]
Tasha is pretty indifferent after we have killed and recovered a deer. She is interested in the tracking and after that is very passive toward the deer. She will lick on it some but as long as it isn't moving, she is content. If you grab the deer and shake it some, she gets pretty vocal and will bite it. My old hound Thibodeaux would attack the deer and would jump around never allowing you to catch him all the while pulling hair out of the deer. Boudreaux on the other hand (kind of reminds me of Owl and the groundhog) lays claim to the deer and will defend it aggressively.
Tasha did fine in obedience class last night. This class is not an AKC class but more of an everyday dog class. She will sit and/or lay stay for 30 seconds with me 30 feet away. She is getting pretty good. I was lax in training this past week and I could tell at class....even though the instructor says she steals the show! He probably tells all the dads that.
I am reminded, though, that Tasha has already evidenced some "possessing" of a deer when another dog was close by. It will be interesting to see the puppies behavior when they are older.
Good going in class! I'm glad that one of the sisters is learning some obedience!
