    I wish I had some deer blood on hand to give it a try.

    When I started training Elly May I collected all four hooves and blood from the body cavity from a deer kill and froze them to use for training. It worked really well.

    I do have an entire boned out deer that is vacuum sealed and frozen that I still need to process. I don’t know if the liquid I’ll get when I thaw it will contain enough blood to use or not.

    Picking up dog poop in our yard is almost an every day task.

    AI told me that they are a Beagle/Lab mix. It will be interesting to see what the genetic testing says!

    Based on the first photo of them inside the bathroom:

    Beagador (Beagle Labrador Retriever Mix):
    • This is a strong possibility. The dogs exhibit features of both Beagles and Labrador Retrievers.
    • Beagle Traits: The smaller, compact size, floppy ears, and general head shape are indicative of Beagle influence.
    • Labrador Retriever Traits: The build, the color of the coat, and the overall body shape are traits that could be from a Labrador Retriever.
    After analyzing the photo of them outside with your beagle:

    Analyzing the Dogs in the New Photo:
    • The Two Brown Dogs (Same as in the First Photo):
      • The new photo reinforces the Beagador (Beagle Labrador Retriever mix) theory.
      • Beagle Traits: The floppy ears, muzzle shape, and overall facial structure are still very Beagle-like.
      • Labrador Traits: The build, the coat texture (short and smooth), and the general body shape continue to suggest Labrador Retriever.
      • Coloring: The brown coat with white markings is common in both Beagles and Labradors, as well as their mixes.

    I love dogs but Chief you are above and beyond, I do not want my 2 dogs I have left to die but they won't be replaced. If we had access to a house dog sitter it would be a different story. The only time I did not have a dog was when I was in college, will be weird to be dog less.

    Feeding time is fun right now. The pups are still in starvation mode and they both bounce back and forth between each other’s bowls trying to get as much of the food as they can.

    Poor little guys. They’ll learn pretty soon that the food supply will always be there.

    Until then we have to referee meal time.

    If that’s what they are I’d be thrilled. They might have a chance of being decent tracking dogs.

    It’s even more fun when you factor in the fact that we live in a tiny house. It’s only 900 square feet.

    But….. We have a dog door that’s always open and we have two acres fenced in for them to roam. In two years when the horses leave we are going to remove the middle fence and they’ll have 3 1/2 -4 acres with dozens of trees to pee on and lots of squirrels to chase.

    I uploaded the photos to Google Gemini AI and asked what kind of dogs they were. The things you can do with AI are pretty interesting!
