All About Fanny

Fanny is CH Cryslen's Fat Bottomed Girl TKN.  She was born June 5, 2018.  She lives at Cryslen Welsh Springer Spaniels with her mom, Jasmine, sister, Poppy and her two daughters, Trü (from her first litter) and Cheeky (from her second litter).  Fanny earned her Trick Dog Novice and her AKC Championship in 2019.  She earned a major towards her Grand Championship in January 2020.

She has tracked off and on for a few years with her mom, but mostly just for fun.  She's also taken a few barn hunt lessons.  In 2021, she took some time off to have her first litter of eight puppies.  Her second litter was born in June of 2022.  Now it's time to get serious about getting back to Tracking and get our TD title.  It will be my first TD even though I've been tracking off and on for about 10 years.  We hope you will keep following along on our journey.

January 2: Tracking at Cold Harbor Battlefield

 I let Fanny do Cheeky and Sizzle’s tracks after them.  I was going to the left from the start of Cheeky’s track but Fanny knew where the track went and pulled me to the track.  After that she knew exactly where the turn was and  did a great job keeping her nose down and staying in track and finding the article.   She did a great job on the second track.  It was my fourth track videoing myself with a chest harness and I think it’s a pretty good video.  

October 31: All Hallows Eve Tracking

 Today we went to a field in my subdivision next to the tennis court and playground.  It had been dizzling earlier so it was very quiet except for the occasional car driving by.  It was 64°F with 6 mph winds and overcast. We did another 15, 20 and 25 steps track. My line-up is the corner fence post and the corner of the house behind it. Here is the track with 6 flags and three articles. Fanny ate a lot of the food but ran over some of it. She would have back tracked to get it if I let her. I kept her moving forward.  She went off to the right about a foot one time to sniff something, but quickly moved back to the track and kept tracking. She seemed very interested in the second article nudging it with her nose I said, "what did you find?" and she laid down.  At the last article, she wanted to keep going until I kneeled down.at the article and then she laid down for the cookies. She seems to continue tracking even after I put ...
