Labs are great dogs, but when it comes to blood-trailing, nothing beats a bloodhound!! They love everybody and when it comes to training them to track a blood trail, there's very little training, if any. Its bred into them. I've used my older bloodhound to find a lost deer and all it took was me to put his nose to the spot where I shot it. I had looked for this deer for over 3 hours and it took him about 35 minutes to find it. They're amazing!! [8D]
