Loaded question, but here is my answer - What is the best breed for a deer dog?.......Anyone that finds it! lol!
Really, I have had the chance to see some dogs that were mixed breeds make recoveries, and I have also seen dogs that were bred and sold as "tracking" dogs that could not use their nose to find the food bowl.
Go to "United Blood Trackers" website and do some research. They have several good breeds that work well, and believe it or not, some of the "winnie dogs" are the best. I tracked with a Catahoula/Lab mix before and he was great, but I always came out bleeding from him dragging me! My buddy had a boxer that was awesome, but he got crazy and would try to bite people after he found the deer and you tried to touch it. At the end of the day, it all depends on what you want.
