Re: Shed Dogs
Grant,
I have never trained any for it but a fellow close to me here does and has a ton of success with it....uses Labs mostly from what I remember..The guy has a hunt club over around Havana ILL. Can't remember the name of it right now I went there once for a hunt and he was telling me about it...interesting stuff for sure...
EDIT::: Clary Creek was the hunt club, cannot remember the shed trainers name though....

Re: Shed Dogs
My father is a knife maker and buys his antlers from some amish folks who have dogs that do this. They make a considerable amount of money doing it also. I should ask if I could go with sometime may be interesting to see.

Re: Shed Dogs
The QDMA (Quality Deer Managment Association) had a shed antler dog trainer as one of their speakers this year at the convention. I did not get to attend but I'm told it was very interesting. This is the speakers webpage:

Re: Shed Dogs
My wife's cousin has been training his dog to do this. I don't know what breed he is.
He's had plenty of success with the dog in the yard finding shed antlers, but he reports that the dog doesn't stay on task when they walk in the woods and fields. It just runs around.
It seems that finding sheds takes a different kind of drive than a normal, instinctive prey drive.
