Dogs for shed hunting

[DanielT]

Just curious....can you train any dog to find sheds?

Any good books on it?

• Pointer. ...
• American Foxhound. ...
• Beagle. ...
• German Shorthaired Pointer. ...
• Bloodhound. ...
• Golden Retriever. ...
• Weimaraner.

I just came across an article in a old magazine with the following information. The first link is their website and the second link is some training videos they have on the site.

Hope it helps.

I give my dog the store bought antlers all the time. This year I’m going to take him out to see if he can hunt some up.

The only ones my beagle found were attached  to recently killed bucks ! 

I wouldn’t want to use him for sheds, to ME that’s like another guy finding them.
