Donna brought me from England when I was 1 year old.
Prior to that I lived with the Rockwood Harriers in a pack of ~70 Hounds.
I was not old enough to have gone hunting yet,
but I was in training and had already learned all about pack life.
I now live in Inyokern, a small town in the Mojave Desert.
At first I had a hard time with the heat.
I arrived in July and average high temps are ~110 deg F.
After I shed some extra coat and learned to use my kiddy pool I fit right in.
Whe it is too hot here I like to go hiking in the nearby
mountains.
I have had a very succesful show carreer with many breed wins.
I won the Harrier Club of America's
supported show (like a national specialty) in 1994.
I also have earned my companion dog obedience title.
John has trained me to retrieve and jump for open obedience,
but I don't really like it much.
My favorite activity (except bitches in season) is going out with the horses for long runs.
I chase jackrabbits
as a Harrier should and we have lots of fun.
I don't usually catch anything, but the tracking is difficult in our climate.
Hot, dry weather and little vegitation make awful scenting conditions.
I have lots of puppies now, many have become
champions already, along with tracking and obedience titles.
Jaunty and
Hurry are two, I will publish a complete list later.
Excuse any spelling errors (I'm doing well for a Hound).
