I put in the full 12 months on the blueprint with my dog in central Auckland. It requires daily training and discipline in handling. It is not a family friendly program - all my mates have had...

Dogs need regular exercise and indicator dogs need regular work or they go off the boil, six weeks is too long between jobs. It would take a while each hunt to get back in the groove unless it had...

To be honest of your only getting out once every 6 weeks I wouldn't try to train up a indicating dog. You'll most likely just end up with a pet you don't actually take hunting at all as it's more...

In my experience an indication a deer is reasonably close is a barking noise lol. Although catching up with it is another story.

A clue that a deer is REAL close is finding new droppings balanced on top of grass or bushes. Once I even saw them suspended on a knot of supplejack vines in the Kaimais. A few steps further down and...
