Fryony is learning to hunt the clean boot.

She can't compete until she is 12 months old.

There are 4 levels of competition and Maud will now compete at Senior level. At this level they have to work a human scent that was left 2 hours before the hound starts. The route, unknown to the handler, is 3 miles long.

To compete at senior level they need a full permit which demonstrates they are steady in livestock.
