Не бладом единым
Специально не стала размещать эту статью в известной теме на к9, уж больно неадекватно там.
Для тех, кому это действительно интересно - вуаля:
Before I wrote this article I talked with a number of friends who are police K9 instructors in North America and Europe. I consider these men experts in the field of training police tracking dogs. I have spent time at the RCMP police dog school in Innesfail Alberta (the finest police tracking school in North America) and at both of the federal police dog schools in Holland (Rotterdam and Nunspeet). To a man, the men I have talked with agree with what I am going to write in this article.
Let me begin by saying that I am not claiming that Bloodhounds can not track. A well-trained bloodhound that has good drive can track just as well as any other breed of working dog. What I am saying is that just because they are bloodhounds does not mean that they can track. Too many beginners (and department administrators) in this business miss that point. They don't understand that "drive, nerves and desire" play a very important part of a dog's ability to be trained to follow a track. In addition bloodhounds cannot perform the superhuman feats that many inexperienced bloodhound handlers claim they can.
For example:

For example:
- They cannot follow tracks any better than any other good tracking dog.
- They cannot consistently use a scent article to pick up a track and follow it.
- They cannot follow tracks on concrete that are a couple of days old in a downtown metropolitan area.
- They cannot follow people who have gotten into cars and driven down the highway.
- Bloodhounds can not smell human blood or human urine and then scent discriminate that person from a line up.
- They also cannot follow a track that is a couple of hours old and then pick the person they were following from a line up.
