Bloodhound Scents
Bloodhounds are the best breed for what we use them for, mantrailing. This does not mean that no other breed can trail. It simply means the Bloodhound breed seems to be the most qualified trailing breed when it comes to scent discrimination mantrailing.

Between the time the subject layed the trail and the time the K-9 team ran the trail (51 hrs) there were 40 mile an hour winds coming from an opposite direction as when the K-9 team ran the trail. There were also heavy rains. Both these conditions moved the scent around somewhat.
The blue line on the topo map is the trail the subject took and the read line shows where the K-9 team trailed the subject. At the far right of the map the red line (K-9 team) overshoots the turn and the K-9 is brought back by the handler to where he knew he was on trail. Otherwise, the K-9 did quite well in this testing exercise which led to the person who ran layed the trail. The K-9 did a good "jump up" id on the subject to indicate this was the subject for which we were looking.
