I'm not against using blood. Blood puts off scent and that's what the dog is after. I would encourage you to use other scents from time to time.

Here's my lap dog. She has quite a few mock trails under her belt, only missed one when she was about 5 months old but it was long and had 2 loops in it... I haven't put her on a real blood trail yet. Several times I have watched rabbits cross the place and wait till they get in the bushes and put her on them and she always finds them, some of them being as long as 200 yards or so... Can't wait to put her on a real trail

I know some guys won't use their dog unless there is good blood because they don't want to discourage the dog if the animal can't be found. I also know people that simply drag hides for a mock trail and don't use any blood.
