Gracie treed her first squirrel all by herself yesterday. I have not trained her or hunted her. She has always naturally chased anything that would run from her ... as long as she could see it. Yesterday the squirrel went through a blowdown and was lost from both our sites. Gracie barreled through the tree top and tracked the squirrel by scent to the tree. I saw the squirrel go up the tree and I also watched as she trailed it straight to the right tree. She 'marked' the tree and for the first time, barked! She KNEW the squirrel went up THAT tree. Photos are poor. It was dark in the woods and she was highly animated. Just look at her pawing that tree trying to show me where the squirrel went!!!
