Awesome, congrats!
Naughty v Wolfstraum, BH, FH, IGP FH2 ~ World Championship bragg
Seven and a half years ago, a board membe, Astrovan, contacted me about a companion puppy........she had a very very senior rescue dog and wanted a puppy....this was her first puppy acquired from a breeder, and her first working line puppy. So Naughty v Wolfstraum became "Copper" and was going to be a companion/ farm dog.
When we met at the owner of the sire's home for puppy pick up, she had no plans for anything special, maybe some tracking....but Joe and Lindsay Brockington encouraged her to come to them for some training.......she found she enjoyed the training....the pup was a real rock star and we all were happy and anticipating the team to go all the way to IPO 3.....Unfortunately, she sustained some issues with her back, and training had to be discontinued. Naughty showed alot of talent in tracking, and she continued on that path. Another friend, with an O Wolfstraum pup a B Traumwolfen dog helped her get started in drug detection....so she became a professional, certified detection dog and has been working steadily in the DC/VA area.
Lindsey and Naughty, aka Copper. went on to trial for the FH, including being the Reserved Champion at the USC FH National Championship, and then onto the FCI IGP FH2. I think she has completed at least 8 FH2s, as she has now qualitifed 4 times for the FCI IGP FH2 Wolfd Championships. The 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid, she became the 1st USCA dog to pass at the 2021's event in Hungary, according to the event officials (there were 2 Americans who did pass an FH championship in Europe - but there is some confusion about this....I seem to remember there was an FH - not an FH2 championship - so ???
The team had some bad luck in 2022 in Poland, and spent most of one night in a veterinary office where no one really spoke English.....so even though they tried, Copper was just not on her game.
2023's event was this weekend in Finland and for the 3rd time, Lindsey and Copper again represented the United States on the World stage!!! So very happy and proud that they competled both their tracks with respectable scores for an event at this level.....on the second day, half of the flight failed....so an 86 was a well earned score.
