Coastie,

We dont keep our dogs with us deer hunting, it is illegal here. In Germany, they hault the dogs at the base of the tree or somewhere inconspicuous. We are allowed to blood track a wounded animal without firearms though.

In the Duck blind, we do the same, hault them or make them sit just like any other duck dog. These dogs are the true sense of the word VERSATILE.

Blood tracking is a integral part of the testing system for DK's and DD's. There are several different aspects in which a dog could be tested as well.

Hault is a command that means to lie down flat with the head between the front legs and be quiet.

If you would like more information, let us know,

Phil
