SEARCH DOG HANDBOOK GLOSSARY and DEFINITIONS These search dog definitions have been around for 20 years, appearing in the handbook, "Scent and the Scenting Dog" by William Syrotuck, 1972. Tracking Dog In the strict sense of the term, the dog should indicate almost each of the subject's footsteps. He should not vary more than one or two feet from these footsteps, despite the wind conditions. He is very characteristic in the head down posture, sniffing at the ground for the evidence. Bloodhounds are the traditional picture of the tracking dog (1 in 22 make it as a tracking dog). The basic orientation of the dog is to the footsteps. Page 12
SEARCH DOG HANDBOOK Trailing Dog This dog is oriented to the rafts, which have fallen to the ground along the person's route. The dog may well by working some distance from the actual footsteps. He will appear to shortcut some corners and overshoot others. Some dogs will even stop and sniff at leaves of vegetation two or three feet off the ground, and in some cases 30 yards from the actual footsteps. Some dogs will move from the actual steps to an outer boundary of rafts and back again. Page 13
