Scent is My Life
There is nothing more important than scent.
My first dog was a shepherd, so adjusting to a sight and scent hound is more difficult than I anticipated. Ebbey is a Rhodesian ridgeback cross and has very high instincts when it comes to potential prey. Today is a good example. Despite oncoming cars, Ebbey stopped to smell a scent in the middle of the road and was virtually immovable. Pulling, and soon yelling, I was unable to budge her from the scent. Luckily I finally yanked her across the road before we became roadkill.
