Today was our first chance to try Copper in lead. He can be so excitable that he nips his partner but, Buffy , his co leader is very savvy. Copper was a pro. As is often the case, he appeared very proud to be in lead. He took to it like a duck to water. He listened to every command, even on trails he hadn't traveled before. He was not hesitant at all and led out from the start up. He took gee/haw and changes at last minute, very well. He impressed the socks off of me, no nipping or goofing off either, just all business. I think he's easily the strongest dog in the kennel too. Good job! Team dogs were great too, Kiddo, Zoom and Sherpa.
It was too warm for any other teams after that so we hauled nine loads of straw, another good job! That makes a total of 16 loads, only 60 or so to go :)
