Training a versatile dog to track is not that hard.....its teaching them to do it our (meaning you) way is what you need to learn.

We use DK's for blood tracking here in OK. Our dogs have tracked several this year for unlucky hunters.

What is the best is watching the dog do it off lead. There are two titles for the German dogs....A Toter and a Bayer.

One of our DK's was a narcotics dog as well as a heck of a hunter and tracker. He has comendations from the police dept for tracking missing altzhimers patients as well as many arrests under his belt. He was featured on animal planets breed all about it too!

Doesn't feel great to see the dog perform a task you trained him to do!
