Walkerman go to" still packin in Nevada" and check out the dogs on there, if I can train my shi-tzu to find antlers you ought to be able to train your dog. lol

walkerman, check out antlerdogs.com or just punch up shed hunting on the computer and you will find info on traing shed dogs. Or if you like you can send me a PM with your phone number and I'll tell you how I started my dogs.
Everything I've read about Mountain Curs is good and I found a website that talks about using them for shed hunting. It sounds like the Cur breeds can do anything. They seem to also be the breed of choice for coyote decoy dogs which I've been looking into. fatrooster.

Here are a couple of shed dog photo's.
Daisy as a pup in training.
Daisy holding one for me last year. Probably about 1.5 years old.
Elk antler from last November.
Training is fun and very rewarding. fatrooster.

ARCHRYBLL, Gunner is a great lookin' pup. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
PrestigeWorldWide, I found a story on the internet about a guy who uses a dashound to find sheds. I'll try to find it again and let you know where it is. fatrooster.
