That's two in that area. I was on 83 a mile or two south of Vaughn Loop and a guy lost his pointer pup there in January.

Brandy went self hunting ...:( he was seen a couple times sunday morning the rancher had him for a little bit in the back of his truck and brandy jumped out. he was about 2 miles away about circling the area where the trial was being held.
The hardest part of all of this is the dog also has to want to be found.
I know the owner and he is totally tore up over this.

There are a lot of contacts that will help with Brandy I included I also have some friends closer to the area that are willing to step in to getting Brandy at home with Ray and his wife.
I sure wish NSTRA would rethink allowing us to use tracking collars in the same aspect that AKC and AF allows use of them.

Should be a no-brainer. I have seen plenty of big running NSTRA dogs get lost.

I am a little surprised the dog has not been found yet ... lots of people in that area. Guess he is not hungry enough yet.

If the NSTRA would not approve the Garmin Tracker then the TAGG collar might be a good compromise.

The dog has identification and a microchip. So once found the person would be able to track quickly who the owner is. Getting/finding the dog on a large desert ranch area in southern Arizona is the difficulty.
