Skye (Keepir X Faye) in the field

Hunt Test

So we've matured.

Autumn exams. Our joint premiere – for Skye (KEEPIR X FAYE) and for me for the first time in the role of the official leader. And actually, this is our little doggy matriculation.

We definitely don't plan to go to the egg, but we just wanted to have this exam from the hunting maturity. And we got it. It wasn't exactly about the award, more like a bit of a bruise. 😅 We have things to improve, things to work on, but we managed it, side by side. And maybe that's what means the most to me.

Months of training, successful and failed attempts, joy and moments when I thought, if we're even going to do it.

This journey gave me something extra. Thanks to it, I met a lot of great people who have the same joy, the same enthusiasm, and actually the same goal. And most importantly, our great trainer Dáša Dagmar Veličková Karchňáková, who accompanied us on this journey, had patience with us, which would have made this matriculation much harder... maybe even impossible

In the end, it's not just about the exam, diploma, or result. It's about the journey to it. About all those shared hours, about the people you meet because of it, about the trust you build together. About learning to read each other and becoming bigger partners.

So Skye... we've got it. And I'm really proud of us both.
