When I was training Breezy my ROMC bitch for her TDX. We were going down the track she was pulling hard in the harness and all of a sudden the line went slack, her head came up and she flipped something about 25-or 30 feet off to the side of the track. I told her to go find it and she went right back to work, as she pulled me past the spot I look over and saw this bloody dead mouse. It only slowed her down for a moment. This is truly a amazing breed. Emilie C.Woodruff Windvane Kennels 5877 Gardi Road Kamloops,B.C.

At least mine are not. --------------------------------------------------------- I beg to differ...lol My Ivandawg encountered a rat one night running at the baseball field behind our house. Rat won round 1 (took a gouge out of his nose, I think Ivan was sniffing trying to figure out what this little squeaky thing was) and Ivan won round 2, and the war. Since then he's killed at least 2 more that I know about. I considered putting little rat decals on his run, like fighter pilots do for kills or quarterbacks do for touchdown passes <grin> He's smart about it too, kills them, drops them and walks off. Doesn't try to eat them or anything--thank goodness. Yuk. Oh--and he hasn't ever been bitten again either, he's a fast learner. :) Fortunately we've moved now with no chicken farmer and no baseball field right next door--all I've seen is one measly li'l mouse--no rats. Ah well the decals would have been fun, but I'd rather be rat-free! lol Liz in Utah Visit my website at http://hometown.aol.com/rckyiizard/index.html ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
