When to start training for tracking? - Page 2

Contact info PM'd back to you.

Also wanted to mention a caveat about the Enthusiastic Tracking method...it uses a lot of food on starter tracks. For short tracks with no age, this is probably okay. My understanding is that trackers in fire ant regions (includes TX) don't use food on tracks once there's any length or age involved, so keep an eye out!

Here is a rescue in Austin: About Basset Hounds and HHBR

The folks there might be able to give you more info on local basset activities (lots of basset lovers involved).
