The welding work

Tracking injured game with a dog is a matter of animal welfare and hunting ethics. Blood tracking is one of the most difficult tasks for a hunting dog and requires thorough training. In this standard work, the proven tracking expert Hans-Joachim Borngräber describes the step-by-step training of the young utility dog to become the perfect bloodhound. He thoroughly explains how to train the dog with the tracking boot. Comprehensively and with an unparalleled wealth of experience, the author, also using examples from his own work, conveys what is important in blood tracking in rough and ever-changing practice.

The basics: Anatomy of game animals, point of impact, track, signs of passage and equipment for bloodhound training.
The dog: Scenting ability, commands on the track, puppy training, indication and training with the tracking boot, holding and tracking in snow.
The tracking team – bloodhound handling in practice: Equipment for the bloodhound handler, behavior after the shot, marking, from the chase to the coup de grâce, injuries to the dog.

For two decades, Hans-Joachim Borngräber's book has been considered the standard work in professional circles, both for bloodhound training and for the practice of "Red Work". With the collaboration of Ingeborg Lackinger Karger, the renowned expert now presents his comprehensive work in a completely updated and in many aspects expanded version. Among other things, the presentation of various techniques of bloodhound handling has been supplemented.
