[Bermagui Community] Would you like to train your dog as a truffle dog?

[Fiona Kotvojs]

I am looking for 2 people with dogs that they would like to train as a truffle dog. The dog needs to be well trained already, intelligent and like to play. The breed of dog doesn't really matter, nor how well they can smell (all dogs have a good enough smell). The issue is trainable, intelligent and like to play. If you are interested please send me an email/give me a call (0409 189 659).

By way of background, two dogs were trained before (one from Quaama and one from Cobargo). Both worked well but will be overseas or interstate next year.

The plan is that once trained, you would be able to make a business of this by hunting truffles on other small trufferies, mainly on the Monaro.  The truffle season just lasts while there are frosts (you need frosts for the truffle to develop), so it is a winter business.

Look forward to hearing from you if you and your dog would be interested.

Thanks
Fiona
