Dashaunds never cease to amaze me, them jokers can smell! I don't have a wire hair, but we got two long haired ones. About 6 years ago, dog was 2 or 3 yr old, a guy shot a huge 12 point on his land above me, he got 160 acre track. Deer ran down the mountain on me, I got some brutal terrain in some spots. That buck made it all the way to the bottoms before he died, the guy that shot came and asked if he could look for the deer, folks said sure we will go with you. Our little dashaund smelled him out in 10 minutes. They got some good noses
