I purchased it for my father as well on his kindle. It is two books in one. What I mean by that is the author puts a lot of thought into how he explains the training of his dog (obviously a bloodhound) his relationship with his dog and all others in his life; as well as the job they performed together. I have a bloodhound, I do not use him for work but we walk everyday and I can so relate to many of the things the author describes in the book. I have told others what my dog does or "what he tells me" and they think I'm crazy. If you are not a "dog" person, you will not understand the literal heart of this book. If you have a Bloodhound, you will be ecstatic. I have laughed and cried and am only partially finished. Honest revelation of a Bloodhound and so descriptive of my dog and my relationship with him even though he has never worked like Ronin. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Red Dog Rising an entertaining read for dog lovers *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2010* I once owned a single-minded English Springer Spaniel that had a great nose and loved to use it (albeit on his terms, not mine)for locating things that only a dog would love. He would venture forth with me into the woods, running well ahead of me and happily following an invisible trail of doggy-delectable air molecules and come back sometimes covered in burrs, or with the slime of a barely liguified puddle or (once) someone's exposed septic field. We also played a great game of hide and seek, me being the quarry and him being the hunter. I usually had to pay off with a cookie if I was found. I can't remember a game where he ever did not find me. Quickly. All of this, while fun (for him, mostly)was just play without discipline or training. Years later, I discovered "Red Dog Rising" by Jeff Schettler, and found in it the same love for life and for scent locating, this time belonging to a police K9 officer named Ronin, a Bloodhound, and his master/partner, Schettler. It turns out that what we were playing at is something the pros-- both canine and human-- can and do spend a lifetime developing.In the book, Schettler spends some time explaining the difference between trailing and tracking. It's an important distinction, because a dog that trails its quarry is emulating the way that related wild animals, such as coyotes or wolves, pursue prey. Tracking is a more human-imposed method of assuming that the scent of the quarry lies on the ground in a path that can be followed. Trailing allows a dog to use its own innate logic and senses to most directly get to the thing or person being sought. Although sometimes the description of how training a dog to trail the origin of a scent can become a bit technical, it is still interesting and educational, and does not overwhelm.The book is well written and Schettler does not cut corners on his and Ronin's memoirs, which sometimes takes the reader on a trail of its own. Not every story delivers a punch line, but they're all real, if not interesting,and since Schettler and Ronin share an obvious bond and affection, the seriousness and gravity of some the searches are balanced with levity and love. These are the good guys, and there is enough excitement mixed in to Schettler's narrative to make this book well worth the time, especially if you are, like me, a lover of large, slightly crazy dogs who love cookies and fighting crime. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More About Canine Scent Work *by C***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2010* This book was so engrossing, I found it hard to put down. I have done tracking and scent discrimination with German shepherds and Cardigan Corgis to AKC standards. But I had minimal knowledge of extensive trailing with a bloodhound. The author's writing style was such I felt as though I was sitting down with another dog trainer and listening. He relayed the good and the bad, and did not spare himself at all for learning errors. Each chapter detailed a search, how it started and ended. Including how the scent was preserved, how given to the dog and how the search progressed.. Each chapter was a particular search, illustrating different problems that existed, contaminated scent, weather conditions, terrain and so on. I enjoyed the book greatly and just wish a second one followed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/51686580-red-dog-rising-paperback-december-1-2009](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/51686580-red-dog-rising-paperback-december-1-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
