I am from Germany.
DD, while great dogs in their own right, are, as a breed relying on air scent (nose up) and eyesight, a second choice for dedicated blood trailing over here.
Any breed with "Brackenerbe", hounds, that is, is picked.
Hannoverscher Schweisshund
Bayrischer Gebirgsschweisshund
Steyrian Coursehaired Hound
This last breed is the one I have - one of em goofing of down in the yard right now.
They are calm, but tenatious on the trails and just perfect for the task.
If you want more info, let me now.
