For those interested in purchasing a DD for blood tracking, realize that the dogs that are RELIABLE trackers are those that have spent many, many hours with their handlers. Their handlers have worked hard, training by preparing blood tracks for their dogs and learning to read their dogs so that they can work together, as a team.

With the exception of the Totverweiser (dead game guide) and the Totverbeller (dead game bayer), all blood trailing/tracking is done on lead.
