I really want a wire haired dachshund aka teckel for hunting and trailing. They are all dog in a little package! Unfortunately my wife doesn't like the rough coats on many sporting breeds. She wants a golden retriever instead! Sigh. I told her it has to come from working lines if that's the deal.

Good lookin pup!!!!!!
A tracking dog is in my near future! I lost the best buck of my life last year. A really good 10 point. Pushing 150".  I firmly believe a good dog would have found him. The problem is I Still can't decide between wire haired, blue lacy, or drahthaar  

Hopefully all of the Ashe county boys will give you plenty of training opportunities.  You know Im going  to start breaking in my new centaur.       Good luck getting him away from Tonya.

Jeff

Richard, he will be available to track for the high country so keep in touch.
Dalton, it is time. Jeff and I hunted for the first time tonight. So you and Ethan can shoot a few more.

Tilly was out of John & Jolanta's line.  Then I breed her back to their stud dog Billy.  Got 6 pups and sold two at a reduced price to Trad Gang  bow hunters keeping one for myself...Cash.  Great dogs for family and terrific noses.

   

 

Tracking is as much fun as hunting...

 

Man that is one cute looking dog!

Dont' trust them! They know how to make you take them places!  

Great looking pup. Last week was my first experience (outside of Africa) with a tracking dog- my 8 month old Drahthaar tracked a doe a buddy shot.

For those of you considering getting a dog for tracking, I say DO IT! I was blown away at how the new pup tracked that doe. He dragged me 150 yards through the thickest cover we have in SE Michigan right to the dead doe- it took him maybe 2 minutes. It was a good hit and we would have found her without the dog, but we would have spent 30 minutes doing it. He'll really come in handy on upcoming harder tracks....

Beautiful pup.  Congrats on adding a great companion to the family!

Congrats Timmy.....what a great looking pup.  The whole leg to body ratio just cracks me up.      

Not sure if this video will play. They are Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde going from pet to deer tracker. She'll tear your ankles up!  

You know, dogs are great, all of them.  They come in 101 sizes and shapes and colors.  

They all have the desire to bond with someone and to be best bud's with someone.  

They all have their built in abilities ( and disabilities) and they are all tigers at one time or another.  

That look in their eyes when they are allowed to do what they were bred to do is awesome.   and then. . . .  a chew toy and nap time.
