Elwood Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 lol Ian WHAT are you tracing with him. Mighty fine looking beasts, though i would not want to be the one on the recieving end. Hi Jan She's a fully trained Schutzhund http://www.schutzhund-training.com/ and is trained to track bad people Which in turn has made it harder for me to train her to track blood trails, as she was following my scent and not the blood. I purchased a pair of scent shoes and she has made really good progress, I'm now training her to find the initial strike and mark it by sitting down, a bit like the drug and bomb dogs do when they locate. I have had to ad-lib her training as we have gone along which is a good test for my ability in being able to understand and read the dog. I guess I'm training myself as well as the dog. She's not one to get on the wrong side of, she attacked the lawn mower this afternoon! Nice solid looking Lab Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 And come on the rest of you, I can't believe that no one else has a deer dog on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Sorry Ian Mine only points them when they are live, never tried her on a blood trail but knowing her she would get distracted! Training a dog is always a learning experience IMHO cos just like humans they are all different and have different focus/motivation for work and reward. But that is what makes them so much fun and so rewarding. Also whilst they may not have been bred for that specific purpose it doesnt mean that they cant be trained to do it, just makes the training a bit more challenging. I have know great gundogs that were every thing from staffies to collies, just happened to have owners who were up for a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC275 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 If anyone can explain to me how to upload a picture, I will show you my last dog and my new one. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingzy Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I use my springer at the moment which does really well considering it was nver taught on deer, but she learns very quickly and has only passed 1 deer that I remember. If the deer runs on I put her onto the trail, if it drops, I go downwind for practice and let her find it for me. I have just got a springador and am hoping to teach her on blood trails and if I am lucky use a leather thong to show me she has found something.

JC JC, I was hoping that you might join in this thread as I know it's your business To upload a photo you need to join photo bucket, upload your photo onto the photo bucket site and then click on and copy the IMG tab (bottom one of four) and then just paste it in here. Failing that email me the photo's and I will host them for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytie Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I am using my black lab, she is 4 now. I have saved blood from the last four deer (into a water bottle with salt added) and have laid blood trails for her, using a 15ft salmon rod and a blood soaked rag. This keeps my scent away from the blood trail. It's taking a little time but we are getting there. She followed a fallow pricket that ran on after being shot this morning. My mate dave shot it with his .308, perfect heart/lung but it ran over 100yds downhill into some really thick scrub. I do not think we would have found it without her. I have not had the pleasure of seeing a real deer dog in action. I keep reading about Teckels and Vizlas but do not know what else people use. Bloodhounds i suppose? ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

col48 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hi i started to train mine my self but I'm off tomorrow to drop him (GSP) of with a pro to bring him on a bit. He is having a 2 week trill to see if he will make a decent dog.(and will stay on if he makes the grade) I believe i have nothing to bother about as he takes quit well to most things. His training is held back with me being laid up with my leg and if all goes to plan then i will be needing him for a very soon to start big cull.
