Training book

Guilty of knowing nothing about both books i still ask the question "tracking is tracking is it not?"

Suggest you buy them on Amazon.

There are Formula 1 Cars and there are Lada's. They are both cars but there is a difference. Same with tracking.
 
Ah such an enlightening analogy.

You know most of us deer hunters in Victoria use our dogs for multi purpose tracking whether it be deer,fox,rabbit,hare,pig,quail running in the stubble rows whatever the quarry and when it comes down to working your dog it equates to the fact that tracking is just that....tracking!
 
Yes, specifically good if you want to track black bears. For deer I recommend Sondergaard's.

A good book, around 350 pages...

I have Sondergaard's book too. Good luck finding a copy though...
 
It was supposed to be a lightharted comment.

I am, or was (have not looked) mentioned on his website as recommending the book! But it does deal mainly about teckels and conditions and restrictions in the USA.
Sondergaard's is European and geared towards the larger dogs and includes areas like totverbellen that Jeannery does not.

But Jeannery's comment that he "tracks Black Bears with his dachshund but not at night is priceless."

The one thing I have learned is that people do things differently in different countries!
