Christmas came early :)
« on: December 04, 2013, 08:23:00 AM »
Look what was under my tree this morning! Blood tracking Wirehair Dachshund   :notworthy:  
Drove 4 1/2 hours yesterday to go pick her up in Houston Tx. Can't wait to get one down to start her on fresh blood    :)

wow is that cute !

Good training.  

I just put some money down on a spring litter Wirehaired pointing griffon.  Can hardly wait (but it isn't even conceived yet).

I love puppies.  Had dogs all my life.  Wish I could have one of each kind ( OK, well, maybe not some of them, I just can't see walking around with a blood trailing Pomeranian, ribbons and all).

Good luck with your new buddy

Corey when I was training my lab to track I use the blood from defrosted deer roast. It worked great with a weiner at the end of the trail for the reward. I know you have plenty deer meat in the freezer.Of course it is another good reason to go hunting also.Beautiful pup good luck with her.Kip

Yes, indeed! Not only a great companion, but a nose that can lead you to your venison.

I love them (obviously)!

ANY tracking you can start the pup on will help him learn to use his nose. You can tie a chunk of hot dog on a string and drag it around the yard and it helps. Get him excited about tracking as soon as you can. Keep his enthusiasm up and he'll REALLY get turned on when you get him on some blood. They don't even need blood. I have a set of tracking shoes that have hose clamps at the back. Clamp a short chunk of deer leg in it and they will trail the hoof prints. I keep a set of legs in the freezer. Let them thaw out and the inter-tarsal scent will be "trackable".

You are going to love your new partner. She will be the "personality kid".

Yes Sir her name is Mesha. I plan to start making short blood trails in my yard and give her a treat and lots of praise.

Man they are cute. That makes me really miss the little tracker I used to have. He was a good dog. Good luck.

Even though she's your dog... I LOVE HER!

Hope you and Mesha have a great and v-e-r-y long friendship, and many, many adventures together.  She is a beauty!
