Great looking pup. Last week was my first experience (outside of Africa) with a tracking dog- my 8 month old Drahthaar tracked a doe a buddy shot.
For those of you considering getting a dog for tracking, I say DO IT! I was blown away at how the new pup tracked that doe. He dragged me 150 yards through the thickest cover we have in SE Michigan right to the dead doe- it took him maybe 2 minutes. It was a good hit and we would have found her without the dog, but we would have spent 30 minutes doing it. He'll really come in handy on upcoming harder tracks....
