MINTAKA MISSING

Mintaka went missing on 23rd October 2011 from fields near Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire.

While walking back the car, she bolted for an unknown reason. She was spotted by the farmers son back at the car, but was not there when we returned no more than 5 mins after she disappeared. There have been no sighting of Mintaka since she went missing.
We believe someone has got her and keeping quiet.

Please keep a look out for Mintaka, whatever part of the country you are from.

Non-hound related...

On Sunday 26th September, Sue of Deertrackers took part in a charity Dragon Boat race in aid of Animals Asia. The race was held at the historic dockyard in Bristol and the weather could not have been worse.....it rained for the most part of the day! There were about 18 teams taking part, raising money for various charities. A good day was had by all those who took part with fund raised hoping to be in excess of £2000 our charity.

Foxes

Foxes are a species our hounds get to see action on from time to time. Below is a couple of photos of Mintaka out hunting and a video of Freya retrieving a fox.

Deertrackers Ulka

Congratulations to Deertrackers Ulka (Nelly) who is now an offically approved tracking hound in Norway.

On the weekend of 16-17th July the NSHK held a weekend of testing and competition. On the Saturday, 10 Bavarians were entered into the blood tracking test. Nelly completed this precisely and finished in 2nd place.
On the Sunday a competitiion called 'Bruksspor' was held. This involves a 20hr track laid with cleaves but with only blood at the beginning and the end of the track. A shot is also fired at the end of the track for steadiness. 12 hounds were entered for the Bruksspor and Nelly placed 1st with a score of 8 points out of a possible of 9 points. Nelly and Anna have also been asked to be reserve for the Norwegian team in a Bruksspor competition held in Sweden in August.

Good Luck to Nelly!
