What's your take on a Shepherd trailing a wounded deer?

Itd probably work, but if i was on a mission for a serious tracking dog id get a lab/hound cross. Ive never seen a hound that was a very good tracking dog, and I own a bloodhound that i tried to train. They just have too much intrest in running something. bloodtrails bore them. A GS would definitely do it. It just wouldnt be my main choice.

You don't use a dog at least an hour after you shot the deer. If it's still alive an hour after the shot, you're not finding that deer. Therefore the whole "A hound will chase a deer, but a lab won't" argument is mute.

There's a reason police use shepherds and labs for drug dogs.
