Photo: Reaching the top of a long uphill climb, Copper is in wheel and doing fine.
Because we know Copper, our new dog, is excitable in the hookup , we started him alone, in wheel, with calm Kiddo, alone, ahead of him, and Buffy and Matilda in lead.
We ran two miles without a hitch. Copper is a great cheerleader along the way . If you slow down, he yodels to 'go'! He is very strong and muscled. He was also very sweet to handle. He had no trouble with the uphill and the speeds (9 to 13 mph). He eats well and drinks well.
In the return he lined out just perfectly as we unhooked. Tomorrow we hope to run him in an 8 or 10 dog team, weather permitting. The high was fifty two degrees today, November 11th :(
We have only 3 days until Michigan firearm deer season , just one mile from Michigan border; Wisconsin season starts on the 17th. Blaze orange is everywhere and our dogs are now getting their blaze streamers.
