I hear that Jack Russell Terriers are very good at blood tracking.

 

I guy I was talking to that does deer search and recovery uses only wire haired dachshunds.

 

This book will tell you everything you need to know and more about blood tracking with dogs, different breeds strengths and weakness. John the author is long time friend of mine and we have tracked together on several occasions. I have even been fortunate enough to handle a couple of his seasoned dogs on tracks. Nobody has the knowledge and experience on a track like John does. This is must read book for any future or current handler of tracking dogs.




Tracking Dogs for Finding Wounded Deer by John Jeanneney

 

Wire hair dachshunds, Labs, Labradeagles, Brittany Spaniels or any kind of bird dog.. Pretty much any dog that is interested can find a deer with ease. We had a 3 month old Lab puppy that found a seven point I lost. It took him less than five minutes.

 

I've had good luck with Pomeranians.

 

My French Brittany has found one.

 

I have used my GSP in the past. Yes she is primarily a bird dog but she has a great nose & a dog can cover a crap ton of area in a grid search.

My bassett hound is pretty awesome.

 

Use one of these but DO NOT tie the leash around your waist.

 

I would say tie it to a sled & HANG ON!
