Tracking Advice
Hello! I recently rescued a 6month old bloodhound puppy. Our hope is to get him to eventually be a blood tracker. I have some experience with IGP tracks but this is my first with hunting and practical use tracking. Any advice?
So far he’s doing about 200-300 paces, food each step or every other step with both narrow and sharp terms. Very comfortable weaving between and tracking around trees and in tall grass. He’s too fast for IGP standards but to me this seems it would be a good trait in a hunting dog. I’ve introduced shed scent and he does fine with it as long as there’s food in the track too.
Our goal is to take him on his first hunt this season (he will be just over a year old), so any advice would be appreciated! Pic for tax.
