Re: NSTRA dog

I have been told the dogs track the scent of fresh broken grass,Chlorophyl. Makes as good a sense as anything else I guess. I know when training tracking, dogs can decipher the time of the track, hence recent birdplanting. My dogs were never aided in tracking training, they just did it. I remember r...

Re: NSTRA dog

The dog has to be trained but I also believe u need intelligence, cooperation, nose and style. A great nose is very important as there are times scenting conditions are tough and the dog that has the nose will excel..So any breed can excel, but lots of factors enter in as well.
