Turtles by dog ….

Although I think most any dog of the working breeds (terriers, hounds and others) could probably do it. I would think it wouldn’t be much different than a search and rescue type dog … I mean as far as training. You would need to train the dog for what you want it to find. I wonder though if different types of turtles smell differently to a dog … I would tend to believe it would require a keen eye moreso than a keen sniffer, or maybe a combo of both. If anyone does try this let me know … it would be interesting to see if I could teach my guys to do it in order to keep census of my local river bank boxies. Might be a great and very easy way to do it other than hoping you stumble across the same ones. After all, they are very elusive. Smiles all and happy holidays!
