Kudos to the BGBTO folks who have done great work to promote and expand the use of tracking dogs. I do believe that if the BGBTO will start allow different breeds to participate in their events it will greatly expand their membership base :)
There are breeds other than dachshunds in our group.
Not to resurrect an older thread, but there are proven trackers other than those in the group as well. I may look into joining the group again, but the first impression from the fellow that contacted me was "keep your mutt at home", basically - even though you don't need a purebred to blood track (I think it says that somewhere on their site too).
All in all however, the organization does promote what a capable blood tracking dog can do for hunting overall! A bonus for our community.
Excellent article April.Quote:

I have also been corrected in my earlier post that the BGBTO do have other breeds, there was apparantly one event for Dacshunds that I had been confused with.
Thanks again to the BGBTO folks for leading the way in big game recovery work.
Even the event you speak of allowed entries by other breeds. There was a GSP and my Ridgeback. And the best judges.Quote:
