This training line was laid in a swamp marsh along the Shiawasee river. The line is 900 yards long and I used tracking shoes and 3oz of blood. I aged the line 35 hours and ran it at night time. Night time tracking brings on entire new distractions and obstacles. Such as the wildlife movment increases at night and for the handler it's much more difficult to see and read the dog. The first picture is the actual line I laid and the second picture is Sypris actual line work where she went. The third photo is her at the finishline chewing on the deer hooves. Sypris is a European Dachshund from Qua-linea breeding program in N.C. Sian Kwa can be contacted at trueteckels@gmail.com and you can veiw her website at
