Totoros Mihoshi at a mecanical bear-test
On mothersday we han an family outing with Mihoshi to the hunting expo at Tullgarn castle. Ther was a lot to see and do there, but the highlight was undoubtedly the opportunity to test dogs with mechanical boars. as luck would have it, when we came to the testsite the boar was broken and had been replaced by a bear! Basically it was a oversized radiocontrolled car covered in a bearskinn. Mihoshi whirled around the "bear" keeping a distance of at least 1,5 to 2 meters while she barked nonstop for 15 minutes without ever loosing controll of the bear. I was both proud and a little surprised when the testleader with a satisfied look on his face said that she was good enough to go up north and hunt bears for real! Amazing what genetics can do. Even a cookie eating couch potato has preserved the herritage of hundreds of years of huntingdogs!
