Emily, We got a TD on my puppy bitch at just 6 months and 7 days of age way back in 1986. We started her out at 10 weeks of age and she was wonderful at it. Any dog has to be 6 months to compete and receive a TD so perhaps someone out there has achieved it on their dog's 6 month birthday. Tell Cathy congratulations on her puppy's accomplishment and also her accomplishment too, as you really have to trust their nose in order to run a track successfully.
