i have one , very loyal dogs. But they do their own thing, it might track if it wants to. If it doesnt, its gonna go lay down in the shade. Its going to be all about harnessing their drive and making them WANT to track.
I got a beagle for that reason a few months ago, the ridgeback can just stay home and protect the family now.

I think that will be the key. Making it a game that he wants to play. If not oh well I'm not buying him to track just family pet

They have a temperament similar to Catahoulas. Fairly independent, working class that are extremely hardy. There’s also a Thai Ridgeback.

Mr. Paul Couget trained a Ridgeback for trailing not long ago. You can find the videos on his Facebook page, Louisiana Dog Training for Blood Trailing and Obedience.
Having said that, it comes down to the individual dog more than any particular breed.
I have two Lacy's. One is a good tracker. The other is excellent. Both are from the same line too. Both trained exactly the same, and only a couple months difference in age.
The biggest thing with any dog used for trailing, in my opinion, is making sure you have a handle on it when you show up to help somebody. There's nothing worse than a game-bred dog that you can't control and that wants to eat anyone alive that gets close to "his deer".

Thank you! I’m pretty proud of him!

I’ll check that out thanks for the heads up. He is 9 weeks and is definitely showing a drive to trail. Got a deer this weekend and couldn’t keep him off of it. You made a good point about not wanting anyone near his deer. We’ve been playing with a scrap of hide and sometimes he get aggressive when I go to grab it. We will have to work one that

Teach him the "leave it" command. It worked on my two. I basically tell hunters that when we find the deer, my dog gets a couple minutes to tug and lick on it before anyone approaches it. Then I give the leave it command, and tie him off to a tree where he can't act out towards anyone.

I read in John Jeanneney’s Tracking Dog’s for Finding Wounded Deer that while some dogs are better than others for tracking, all dogs are very capable of blood tracking. He explains how powerful a dog’s nose is and once they realize what it is you want them to do it’s fairly easy for them to track wounded deer/blood.
He used wire haired Dachshunds.

What is that cats name
Posted on 11/18/20 at 8:13 pm to JoeNelson
We had a couple of them and used them as deer trackers, but as everyone said, you can't throw em in the truck and expect them to do it. Best one we had was named Trouble... for a reason.
He penned a Democrat on the roof one cold night. Told the deputy to leave him up there and we wouldn't press charges.... He almost froze to death.

I’m no blood trailing dog pro man, but blood dogs you usually want on a leash or rope and a 100 lb dog on a rope is going to be insane in the southern woods with swamps and thick creeks.
Do they really get 130lbs or is that sarcasm? My 68 lb golden retriever will own my arse on a leash when it really wants to. She knows how to get low and use proper angles.

I had a cat before I had a dog, then I got a GSP puppy and they actually did really well together.... THEN we were given a 10 month old Golden Doodle. Pretty sure our cat was the first one he had ever seen or something.
The cat was on top of the fridge and 30 seconds into the Doodle coming in our house, he got a running start and attempted to jump on top of the fridge to get the cat. He hit that fridge like Wile E Coyote hits the fake tunnel. Gave the cat away the next day.

Yes. Very stubborn and could get pretty mean.
