I have no experience with tracking. It does sound as though Clover would be a good candidate. If you are really serious about it, as in rescue, I should think the teacher would want to take your dog for training. I could be wrong about that, but I would check into that part of the training in particular.

Clover is such a cutie pie. I love photos of her. Keep 'em coming.

I think the more the dog can learn, the more dedicated they will become. Prue, my dog, is at about a 7 on scale of 10. She is smart, but not nearly as smart as Clover appears to be...... I still love her so. I try to teach her something new each week. She loves her toys and is beginning to know them by name now.....

More photos, please.
