Leashed Tracking Dog License

[airedale]

I have never used a dog to track a wounded Deer but I have recovered Coyotes and Foxes several times with my dogs. So to be legal for Deer I decided awhile back to take the test for a leashed tracking dog license, took the test this morning and passed it. Also wanted to take the test just to see if I could pass it having trained hunting dogs my whole life. The license is good for 5 years  and going to cost $75 and will be basically for personal use if I ever wound one and have to use a dog to recover it legally.

I'm sure you will put it to use sometime in the future.

Pretty cool. I used my older dog once to track a deer. He was very methodical and I was impressed. Very enjoyable experience.

Got my License in the mail the other day, I now have to train my dog, the tracking part is no problem. I have an Airedale female that is a heck of a good track dog "unleashed", how she will do tracking while being somewhat restricted on a long lead remains to be seen. She handles so well with just voice commands that I have rarely ever had her on a leash so this is going to be an interesting project.

Congratulations Al. I've had my LTDL since 1998. So much fun as you well know, working with a dog to achieve a goal. Your dog can be certified as well.

Thanks Grampy, when it comes to any kind of activities involving Dogs especially hunting it will get my interest.
