Every good hunter needs a good dog.

This here is our new puppy, Izzy.  She is a pound puppy that we just picked up from the Animal Rescue League.  From the little info we got on her we determined that she is a Blue Heeler/Beagle mix and is about 5 months old.  She is a sweet girl, doesn't bark, jump, or lick (too much).  Izzy loves to lay on my lap and in front of our double doors soaking up the sun.  She is pretty smart too!  We were able to potty train her in one day if you can believe that!  She can sit and shake and know what she can and can't chew on.  The boys just love her.  Jack (2) and Max (1), take her toys and run around Izzy trying to get her to play but she mostly just sits and watches the boys run around.  So I adopted a couch potato what can I say.

Izzy is all sunshine and roses inside but outside, that beagle nose of hers goes into high gear.  When we are out walking the property, she easily picks up on the sent of some tracks and off she goes on the hunt.  Izzy does stop when asked but you can tell if she was off the leash that she would be in the woods chasing down deer and squirrels.

Being that she is so easy to train, we are going to  teach her to hunt down those pesky moles that are tearing up our yard.  With a little luck we might even be able to teach her to hunt us down some truffles.
