Brin passes ORT!

[brinian]

It's official.  He'll be allowed to trial whenever we get a trial set up.  He passed his Odor Recognition Test in 17.2 seconds with a generous allowance by his handler (me) to make sure he didn't want to go on and check the other boxes.  He'd hit on the correct one hard, hit on it again and was going back for a third time even though I was offering him the rest of the boxes in the room to check by the time I finally called the alert.  I was very proud of the fact that even though he barked through the entire instruction set, when I released him to the search, he shut up and worked immediately.

AFAIK, he's the first beardie to be officially qualified for NACSW testing/trialing :-)
