Track loud
The terms trace loud or driving loud come from the hunter language and describe the track or on the track , according to hunting of game, so barking hound .
The barking has a special sound that is different from the dog's normal barking. As a rule, the track sound is much lighter and interspersed with yowling and howling sounds. This innate trait of the hunting dog is an advantage for the hunter , as he can tell from the sound of his dog where the game is fleeing or where his dog is going. From an animal welfare point of view, timely and regular perception of the noisy hunting dog by the game also prevents the game from fleeing in panic and being able to break away from the dog. From hunting practice and grazing fair, d. H. From an animal welfare point of view, this has the advantage that the game repeatedly secures and pauses (in the hunter's language: " hoped "), which is essential for an instantly fatal shot.
For certain breeds of hunting dogs, such as bracken and rogue dogs , “track loud” is a condition for their usability and must be determined in proficiency tests. In the case of Dachshunds and Beagles , the passed track loudness test is noted in the pedigree with Sp as part of the system usage test or suitability assessment . If the dog is younger than 15 months at the test, the entry is Sp / J ( J for "youth").
If the dog barks as long as it sees fleeing game, it is visually loud . Dogs that bark even though they have lost their track or are not following a track or game are called loud . These are therefore unsuitable for hunting and are excluded from breeding.
Packs of dogs also emit typical track noises during riding hunts or parforce hunts , which are called peals . Experienced hunting horses know the bells and know that the hunt will continue as soon as it sounds.
