Slovakian Kopovs anyone?

If many of you clicked this just to see what it was, welcome to the club. But with all the dog lovers on here I thought I'd ask if anyone had any experiences with them. I have a guy I know that runs a blood tracking outfit down this way that has a few pups available. I've been dreaming about a blood tracking dog for years and years and this couldn't have come at a worse time for me financially. But if this is truly something hard to come by, I will sell something else to fund one of these pups. Two weeks ago I had never even heard of the breed and have been trying to ignore this want I have for it, until tonight. I've been searching and searching the web this evening and I'm really liking what I'm reading. Anyone ever heard of them or had any experiences with blood tracking dogs?

I really love my English Lab and would train one of those for this if they were about half the size.

Me either. They seem to be one of the best for tracking though. Really good family dogs also.

I personally have never heard of them.

Yes, I have experiences with blood tracking dogs. From my personal research over the past 2 years the Dachshund is the best. Small dog, built low to the ground, good hound nose, doesn't eat a lot, doesn't leave huge poop piles in the yard. They make nice pets, have a stubborn personality, and are protective of the household.

I'm guessing you might know this guy, if you're into it. He runs his business out of Winchester. I believe his top dog is from Michigan and is a Drathaar (or however it's spelled), long haired wiener, hahaha.

I also realize that they are not trained to track blood, it's just what people know them by.

These are pups Shawn has Dave. He's really happy with his beast dachshund. When I last takes to him a few weeks ago, he still had at least one and was getting it on trails already.

He's a good dude, I like him. Very good resource to have when you're in doubt. For anyone that hunts, they should talk with someone in the business before hunting. A LOT of the questions he ask is about what the deer did after the shot. I never really payed much attention to the details..."fugger ran off" isn't a good answer. Lol
