Sagebrush Molly Brown

Variable Surface Tracking

Molly was the first and at her death still the only Sheltie to earn the AKC Champion Tracker title!

Practice Session, May 2001:

Scent collects along the curbs

But the track goes off to the handler's right,

And comes out between the cars,

And back along the curbs and shrubs.

Working terraced lawns can be challenging,

But is rewarded by an article find!

Back on the sidewalk. . .

. . . and up the stairs.

There’s usually more scent along the edges of the sidewalk, even if the tracklayer walked down the middle.

And the really interesting smells are not always left by the tracklayer.

No trouble crossing a road,

And going down another flight of stairs.

The last article!

Reward for a job well done!
