The other weekend I was dog-sitting for a couple of Dobermans. As I was walking them I kept thinking how much fun it would be to do tracking with one of them. I would never want to live with a Dobie, though they are neat dogs I'm a herding breed person. But I would love to borrow one to track with.
Also, the above but substitute Malinois for Dobie and competition obedience training for tracking.
