Maybe I'm just lucky o.o  Strauss has an incredibly deep nose.  When I ask 
him to track, he tracks.  He has never air scented unless he has had free run 
of 
the yard.  I never even had to bait his beginner tracks.  In fact, if they 
WERE baited (by an instructor), he gave me the impression that he was annoyed, 
as the scent of meat covered the scent of what he was tracking.
Strauss isn't slow and methodical either....he pulls me down the tracks like 
a mad man.  I'm usually at the tail end of the 40' line.  People have asked me 
why I don't use a 20-33' line...simple answer...my dog won't track when I'm 
that darned close!

If I had any idea how to go about it, I'd get Strauss registered with the SV 
or what have you and I'd try to go for the FH.  Right now I'm just 
concentrating on getting his TD.
