Abby lives in Jamestown, RI. with her owner LuAnn Botelho. LuAnn always wanted to get Abby certified. One day her owner was reading an IPWDA magazine checking out the master trainers list, and saw Tony Keith master trainer of bloodhounds. LuAnn tried to contact Tony but his emails kept coming back. Until one day she was checking her emails to find an email from Tony Keith about his mantrailing academy they were starting. Well without a second thought, her and her husband's vacation to FLA was changed. Now they were going to Indiana.
That is where we met the "best" bloodhound people around. We met master trainer's Tony Keith, David Wheeler and Herman Moothery Jr, along with trainers Skylar Lyon and John Holcomb. These guys are some of THE AMERICAN MANTRAILING ACADEMY staff.
Abby certified with her owner LuAnn Botelho in "Expert Mantrailing. LuAnn's husband Bill Botelho and Abby also certified in "Expert Mantrailing"
Now if the need comes that a person goes missing, Abby is ready to go!
Abby is a proud member of the Rhode Island K9 Response Team which is a volunteer group. She thanks her team mates for all the training they helped her with.
