Hilde

Hildegard aka "Hilde" is a youngster who has already made it clear that she's one to watch for! From the beginning, Hilde has shown herself to be an incredibly handler focused, sweet dog who lives to work and please. As soon as she joined our family it just felt like she'd been here forever. She's been a quick learner, easy to live with, and a pleasure to trial. She inherited her mother's talented nose, earning her UKC Elite Nosework title at just 15 months. She loves her field work, and has shown her abilities in pointing and tracking, as well as a strong love for water. Despite her strong handler focus in ring sports, she has demonstrated great range and independence in the field. She continues to work towards higher level CKC field and water tests. She hit the rally and obedience rings at less than a year old, showing off her incredible focus and composure in CKC and UKC in busy venues. She's also a fantastic agility prospect, showing a real love of the game and mastery of all competition elements, and will hopefully start trialing in 2023.

Hilde has high food drive and very high toy drive. Her reward of choice is a toy, specifically she loves to TUG! We use tug for most of our agilty work, and much of our obedience work as well. She earned herself the nickname "The Hildebeast" young in life, and she's in full Hildebeast mode when she's got a tug toy in her mouth! She also strongly values personal play, and loves it enough that if I don't have a food or toy reward, I can easily reward her with a personal play session. Hilde is easy to run off leash- she ranges far but truly values knowing where her people are, and checks in frequently. She is very sweet and sociable with people and dogs that she knows and neutral to dogs and people that she doesn't know. 

We are very excited to see what the future holds for this talented youngster!
