The two legged kind.....I call mine Brother-In_Law :)

From my research, the "best" breed is a Bavarian or Hanovarian Mountain dog, but pups are nearly impossible to find and priced at $1000-2000. Here is link to some serious trackers.

If I was getting a pup just for trailing it would probably be ada?? weiner dog.:D

Chocolate lab or beagle. Buddy of mine has a choc. lab that has found 3 bucks so far this year, and he was very easy to train. I have a walker hound that i use to trail blood
but if i didnt have deer dogs i would have a lab. The only thing i dont like about the lab is he doesnt bark on the trail, where my hound will and bay the deer too. Thats just personal preference though because i love to hear the dog work!

try not to get a hound. most of them will leave a track for a hotter one and unless your finding blood along the way you might not know it has switched deer..................tony

What would you recomend???

RE: Deer dog
 

Here in Flit's mostly Red Bone......

EDIT: My bad! Missed read the post! We use Red Bone for running Deer! What huntnma said is about right for tracking......

RE: Deer dog
 

i was thinking bloodhound, maybe because i am partial to bloodhounds....Beagle would be my next choice....

RE: Deer dog
 

Wow! You better inform most of the Prisons in the nation, causethey use Blood Hounds for tracking Prisoners!

Blood Hounds have the most sensitive nose of all the Canines....

Hows a DEER HOUND sound..

RE: Deer dog
 

WE HAVE REAL GOOD LUCK WITH RAT TERRIORS. NOTHING WRONG WITH A BLOOD HOUND BUT THEY ARE TRAINED UNDER STRICT SUPERVISION. A HOUND THATS JUST TRAINED FOR DEER WILL MOST TIMES TAKE THE FRESHEST TRACK IT FINDS. THATS WHY EVERYTIME YOU PUT ON A BIG OLE BUCK TRACK A COUPLE HOURS OLD IT WILL COME OUT RUNNING DOES..................TONY

Deer Blood trailing dog, not Deer tracking dog...:)

RE: Deer dog
 

What do you mean? A deerhound like a bluetick,black and tan,beagle, etc. will have a long bawl mouth when he opens on a track. a running or treeing walker will have choppy,short bark usually. The problem has been stated above about hounds taking the freshest track available and not actually bloodtrailing a deer. I use hounds because i already have them and they work great, they wont bark much if you have them on a leash anyway while bloodtrailing.

blood hound would be my first choice. after that, i'd get a black and tan or a red bone. most deer dogs, or atleast all the one's i use to have, would stay on a blood trail and would not break off on a "fresher" track. we use to run dogs back in the early 80's to the end of the 90's and all i owned were black and tans, red bones and blue ticks.
