We have several dogs here that are trained to track blood and scent of any type.

We use Deutsch Kurzhaars. They have to pass a test in blood tracking which is very difficult. Some tests the trail is 24 hours old. We have tracked several deer this year during gun season as well as waterfowl and quail hunt the same day with the same dog!

If you are interested I could elaborate on the breed and what is expected of them.

Just to blood track on a lead is easy to train a dog to do. He, obviously has to have a quite good amount of retrieve drive and the ability to track or trail. After that is quick and rather easy.
