No issue on the "non"hijack, hell you answered his question right.

TeeJay, Axel is a Wire Haired Dachshund. It's a very, very popular breed for tracking. They are tremendously talented dogs and Axel is our loving pet.

I'd suggest John Jeanenney's book, Tracking Dog's for finding Wounded Deer. John is the one of the foremost leading experts on tracking dogs in the U.S. as far as many are concerned.

The book is easy to find with a google search. Also, the United Blood Trackers.org is a great way to gather information and point you in the right direct. John as well as his wife is a member there as am I.
