I know that around here people make great side money to get their dogs and and track one for you. That is not why I want something but I think it would be fun to have a dog that could help you or your buddies out with recovering a deer you may not without a dog. There is not a worse feeling than knowing that you shot an animal and couldn't recover it!

Daschunds do make great tracking and lap dogs. She keeps her nose to the ground quite diligently.

My lab has a bad habit of getting on the wrong track, usually my scent instead of the blood.

For blood trailing, why you need a Blood Hound, of coarse. lol.

Actually any of the hound breeds would do a good job, but Dachshunds are one of the best for that.

I have a Weimeraner/Lab (Labmeraner) mix that I just started training to track. So far, she's taken to it quite well, even though she's only 11 months old. I had a mini dachshund that would follow any trail you put him on, and dig the critter up if need be, so those would be a choice as well.

PRACTICE your shooting skills and a dog is not required.
