Minkenry 1,044 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone. My name is Joseph Carter. For a couple years now I have been researching and experimenting with different dogs, trying to find the right dog to work with my trained hunting mink. I have tried various dogs over the years (owned by friends or family) in an effort to figure out just what I wanted in a minkenry dog. I have also spent a lot of time and effort trying to educate myself on the different dogs out there, so I could better understand the potential strengths and weaknesses of each breed or type of dog. After putting forth a couple years of effort, I then spent a considerable amount of time trying to locate the dog that I felt would fit my goals best. All of that effort has now paid off with this fine little lurcher pup. Her name is Onsa, and she is 3/8 racing greyhound, 3/8 American staghound (from the Cherry line of coyote hunting dogs), 1/8 saluki, and 1/8 English pointer. https://youtu.be/50X0mL7rPUk Edited May 18, 2016 by Minkenry 9 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Not trying to teach my granny to suck eggs, but if I may a little suggestion regarding the pup. Sometimes it is not possible for a dog to track with ground scent, and with the pointer in the breeding it might be an idea to use the wind and teach the dog to air scent also. It really is not difficult, all it means when you send the pup out for a find and retrieve as you did in the video, cast him down wind of the retrieve and work him into the wind. The rest he will do himself. TC 1 Quote Link to post
