We are proud to
be introducing our newest addition. Mai Tye
is our first home bred girl and we are excited about her future as a performance dog. She is spunky and has an out-going “anything
you do I can do better” attitude. She loves new adventures and
takes everything in stride. Mai Tye's zest for life
and spunky attitude comes shining through every
time.
Mai Tye has spent the past year training in
hunting, tracking and agility. We also sneak in a
little obedience and for good measures. This girl is
proving to be a natural at everything she tries.
Like her mom she has the can do attitude but kicked
up a few notches. She is commonly referred to as "a
Paige on steroids". Mai Tye displays speed in the
field and on the agility course. She also passed 2 TD
tests this past fall at neck breaking speeds. We
will continue working with this young lady over the
next year developing her skills in the performance
venues.
As
for her show career that remains on hold for now. As
Mai Tye earned back to back 5 point majors at her
first two shows we pulled her from the show ring. I
prefer to finish the Championships on my Fields when
the dogs are over a year old - sometimes even
holding them out until they are over 2 years old. So
as Mai Tye is still a youngster we are going to let
her grow up for a long while before she heads back
into the show ring!
05-16-07: Mai Tye has been having fun in the
fields! We like to introduce our pups to different
performance venues while they are babies. So far Mai
Tye has been introduced to hunting, tracking,
obedience and she has recently started agility
classes. We use the new experiences as a way
to make sure she develops into a well socialized
pup. As she gets a little older we will cut back on
some of the activities to concentrate on 2 areas of
performance. But for right now she gets to try all
these new activities with no pressure...its all for
fun....
7-30-07:
Mai Tye attended her
first shows and earned back to back 5 point
majors at the a supported entry in Waukesha Wi.
This was my first time showing in bred by and my
girl showed like a pro, beating out over 10 other
girls! We are very proud of our girl as she showed with style as she beat out older competition.
Talk about starting off her show career with a
BANG....she is truly a dream girl come true!
09-07-07: Well after taking the
summer off from tracking due to the heat and dry
conditions I wasn't sure what to expect. When my
friend told me she was heading to Lansing in 3 days
to try to get her certified I asked to go along. I
was a bit worried as we hadn't been practicing. Well
my worries quickly dissipated when Mai Tye put her
nose to the ground and dragged me down the track!
She earned her certification and received some very
nice compliments from the judge! We hope to get her
in a tracking test this fall!
11-04-07: Mai Tye attended her
first TD test at Lansing Michigan. Mai Tye sailed
through her tracking at a neck breaking pace. All
said and done she completed her 465 yard track in 4
minutes. We are VERY proud of our young lady.
11-11-07 Mai Tye does a
repeat. We attended the Ann Arbor tracking test as
there were no alternates to take Mai Tye's place.
Well the girl once again proved that Fields can
excel at tracking. Mai Tye flew down her track and
completed 455 yards in just under 5 mins.
