We got a dachshund for our kids for Christmas. Rob, you might recall me asking you about them in Dec. I figured if we were gonna get a little dog, might as well get one that can double as a great pet and a tracker for dad
LOL, I haven't lost a deer in a LONG time....I hope I'm not jinxing myself [8D]
I bought the book Rob recommended, lots of good info. She's still only a few months old, but man what a cool little girl. Yes, she's not from an official tracker breeder, but dang does she have a good nose. I bet she does well in the long run. I've always had big dogs (I have 2 labs also) but boy is she a fun little dog. I would highly recommned one, even if its just for a pet - she's a sweetie. Here she is:
She is a little sweetie.
The book, if someone is interested in is John Jeanenneys
Tracking Dogs for finding Wounded Deer.
I was telling TeeJay on the phone, when the book was published it was may still be the only book written in English. It took many years for John to translate German tracking books. I consider this the bible for training new and older blood tracking dogs. It's a great read and even if your not interested in the tracking dogs, you'll pick up good tips for tracking in general.
