I'm all for people using dogs to find sheds but by far the best part of shed hunting, for me, is spotting them.

Spotting them in my Labrador's mouth would be even more exciting to me... (because they will hardly retrieve anything outside of water).

no need to look for a dog from a kennel that trains them....the greatest limitation to a dogs ability to learn, is the owners ability to teach....any "hunting" breed (or dog with desire to hunt) will work just fine, you just have to be willing to train and get excited about, and the dog will too...make it  fun, that's how ours learned, and he brought back 58 last season....

OK, I found an article on training them yourself.

My two aren't experts but they have led to quite a few sheds.
 They seemed to be more attracted to fresh sheds though

We're not a family big on pets. But if I could get a shed dog that could also run upland birds...  :drool:
