Sweet pic! Did your dog actually find it or did you just have him pose for the photo?

Yeah, he found it, and it just worked out for the pic.

I love posts like this- love the unique improvisations- especially the idea of a "pack dog". I went out to "introduce" a couple of young novices to shed hunting, I even parted with a couple of forky sheds that I "planted" in plain view of the two boys... they were more content to swap huntin' stories; I had to almost direct them to the planted antlers. Then, after our hike, I went to a different location:"the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away" in reverse- I was able to find two brown forks to replace the planted white ones. And from the size of them, the pack dog w/harness would've worked!! Happy continued successes, everyone!!

thanks fatrooster. I could try and claim that I trained him, but he kind of just caught on to what we were always looking for. When he was a pup, I took him all the time, and pretty soon he started finding small ones. Now, he finds more than me! And obviously, bigger ones. He mainly finds white ones. I think he associates them by the color, because he steps right over brown ones all the time. And yeah, im in Elko, but just for work.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-11-09 AT 10:00PM (MST)[p]Sounds like a smart dog. I wonder how good he would have been with training.
I've been training a lab to hunt sheds and its going pretty good. On our last trip out she found 11 that I never saw. My shed days are coming to a screaching halt though because I will be starting a month long shut down at the gold mine in Carlin.
Goodluck to you and your dog and I hope you find lots of sheds. If you ever want to know more about training dogs to shed hunt I will be glad to talk about it.
Crazymaez, my wife has a Pomeranian and your picture has given me an idea. Maybe if I strapped a T-bone steak to his back I could troll for Mountain Lions. Ha ha just joking. But maybe he could carry some sheds. fatrooster.
