What Tracking Dog?

[da_pepper]

I'm looking to get a standard dachshund for this reason. Know of a guy right now who has a litter that is from a bloodline of tracking dogs. Mom is registered with UBT I believe? Pretty intense trackers, and great family dogs, per my research. I have kids, and other animals, so need a dog that can mix well with all, but also know when its time to go to work.

Jack Russell from Africa is the best dog I’ve ever been around. Tracking & as a pet.

A lab that comes from a family with small kids.

I just got a Dachshund puppy off of Maurice Chambers a few weeks ago. He has a nose like look other. He's only 10 weeks or so but he isn't a bit afraid of my Rotties either. I'm not interested in training him in blood trailing, maybe as a hobby.

Depends on your goals. Tracking for family and friends? Tracking for the public? If you’re wanting to track pretty seriously and not just a hobby I would suggest getting some kind of cur/hound mix. You want some size on a dog when it comes to running down wounded ones. A little one just can’t keep up or hold it’s own on a broken leg deer

But, if you’re strictly looking for an effective dog that’s in that size range I would go with a JRT from hunting lines

No real particular goal. For sure myself, family and friends. It's more of just wanting another working dog again since its been a few years. One of those things where if the dog turns out being good enough to where I feel it would be worthy to charge someone and I could go onto a strangers place with confidence, I'm not opposed to that either.

Bavarian Mountain Hound, amazing dogs, great pets, look into them you won’t be disappointed.

We have a dachshund and have been extremely happy with him. He loves my kids and wife. Great with our other dogs and is a tracking machine. My wife runs him and can manage him really well due to his size.
I got him from John Jeanneney out of NY.

Didn’t John write the tracking dog book? I’ve heard that name before.

[Ruttin&Struttin]

He did. He was an awesome individual. He passed away in 2021.

I’m sorry to hear that. I bought his book. Ran a tracking dog years ago(blood hound) I forwarded it to a member here a few years ago.

Anybody use a spaniel blood line for tracking?

That was my first thought when I read the post. Pretty cool to have a dog from him. That guy wrote the tracking bible.
