The art of backing

One of the many things that Odin has had to learn to do while getting ready for competing in the upcoming Hunt Tests in his quest to earn his Senior Hunter title is learning how to back or honor another dog when they have found the bird first. We've been working on this for a few weeks now and this weekend Odin showed us that this hard work has paid off as he backed Oscar, an Irish Setter while working a field. Here is a pic of Odin backing and the rest can be found on our flickr site.
