Friday 5 February will be the turn of the course for the handlers of recovery dogs for injured ungulates: the start is scheduled at 8:30, while the end of the lessons is set at 19. Saturday 6 February, always at the same times described above, instead it will be up to the participants in the course for dog handlers. It will be possible to register for both days, while on February 7 there will be one practical exercise, with the work on the tracks, the written and oral tests, the delivery of certificates and the conclusion of the courses. The teacher will be Julian Colombi, wildlife technician and expert judge of ENCI (Italian National Dog-loving Body).
The official presentation of the courses took place this morning in the setting of Villa Recalcati in Varese and the desire to achieve important results was reaffirmed, in particular as regards the management of the wild boar species. It is not the first time of training of this type and the aim is to have hunters in the area who are increasingly aware of their role and prepared to exercise and manage the art of hunting. The dogs featured in the courses are those who smell injured wildlife or allow a very particular boar hunting technique, the turn.
The limieri dogs are part of a breed of English hounds which are also known as St. Hubert's dogs (or bloodhounds). Their main characteristic is undoubtedly their very sensitive sense of smell, therefore more than suitable for hunting ungulates. Their height at the withers exceeds 70 centimeters, moreover they are rather robust animals with short and fine hair. The spin technique is typical of territories that are not excessively large and begins with tracing and the dog and the dog on a leash that go around the hunting area in search of the fresh track. The limiere then reports the discovery constantly barking at a standstill and the boar is intercepted by the posts positioned at the beginning in case the hunter fails to shoot him.
