Barrett the 2.5-ish year old DDB passed her Track and Search Championship recently, so looking at the track requirements she has done the equivalent of her TD, TDX, VST and championship tracks.
The TS Ch track was run at night, 4-6 hours aged, 1km long (2/3mi) on hard surfaces, minimum of 5 turns (we had 6) and a mandatory two minute pause in the middle of the track, restarting the track without re-scenting your dog.
Barrett blitzed it, the only dog out of the 60 entered who received a grading of "excellent". It was especially nice to do this in front of people watching with a sceptical eye as they had never seen a mastiff track before (as I decided to drive 30 hours to attend the out-of-state trial). My state doesn't get excited about her anymore.
We've only got 6, maybe 7 Track and Search champions in the state so I'm very proud of Barrett accomplishing this before 3 years of age.
