Thinking about a small dog

[NE450No2]

After Corjack and Sophies visit to the house and our trip to the deer lease I am thinking about maybe getting a smaller dog.

Sophie was a treat to have around.

I would still like a dog that could track a wounded deer/pig, etc., and weigh say less than 20 lbs or so.

I have seen some pictures from German hunters that use a little brown dog for tracking.
What kind of dog is that?

I don't know about the German dog but Jack russles are awesome for that job, I had them for years and their easy maintenance and great workers.

Probably one of these. Mine is just starting to track liver at 9 weeks and is now trained to sit, stay and come. Its going to be all of 12 pounds when she gets older. And it can go down a hole to pull out a rabbit.

Could be the next dog companion. I see the size of hole for the field trials is 20cm by 18cm which I'm trying to coax the dachshund into a hole 2/3 this size and she won't go

I just watched this and my dog was in the room and sat when you said it on the video.

Remote dog training 10,000 miles away.

That is cool, its it trained to sit on command?

Yes.....and thats about all she does . We are getting better on coming when called but not where I like to be yet.

First older rescue dog for me and she is hard headed and a bit of a brute. But we have made steady progress to gain some manners. She walks pretty good on a leash and when on trails with other hikers and dogs stays mindful of me; that in and of itself is far better than when I brought her home.

I have yet to own a real hunting/working dog.....someday.

I found you a puppy, and she is in the D/FW area, plus the price is right.
