Rune is from our 2024 Pixie/Brew litter. I'm very excited to watch her grow up. One definition of "Rune" is "a mark or letter of mysterious or magic significance." When Rune was born, she had the same white hairs inside her paw pads that her mother has and she was the only puppy in the litter that had it. Rune casting is an ancient art if divination and I chose this name as a nod to her mother's kennel name and registered name.
Rune is a really cool girl, and I get the feeling she still has a lot more to show me about herself but she prefers to surprise me with things she's worked out while I wasn't paying attention, lol. She's a super easy puppy to live with, and at times she seems like an old soul in a baby body. She loves to turn on the drive for things she loves like tracking. She has her mother's nose, and I'm loving training for scent sports with her. We are trying all the sports I know so she can tell me what she loves. More to be revealed with this one!
Rune's first recorded jump in competition was 15' 6" in ASCA dock jumping!
Rune is showing in UKC conformation. In her very first show ever, she was awarded Best Female over her mom and another Labrador bitch. She already has her 3 competition wins and about half her points to finish. Very proud of her!
She is an excellent tracker, like her mother. She's already certified to take the AKC Tracking Dog test, which means she tracked a TD equivalent blind track successfully. Hopefully we will get a spot in a test next year.
