We have a very special relationship .I love him so much ,hes my best mate and wouldn't care if he never found another truffle .I know i will lose him one day an the thought of that is heart breaking.
@@jere6803 Were still getting out during the winter months for a cheeky truffle hunt ,he's 11 now an still in good health but slowing as we all will when were that age .I feel like we've had a million adventures an still well up at the thought of life with out him.
What a lovely dog! He seems to have lots of fun searching for truffles. And he knows exactly what to do e.g stepping away from the spot so that you can search.
Its all about the training.He had his first taste of a truffle at 11 weeks old.Give you dog bags of love and training and he'll reward you.I don't care if he never found another truffle would still love him all the same
+TheSkyedoggy hi skye doggy I own a lab retriever nice dog constantly sniffing his fav ball out and retrieving it from any hidden place . ive always been fascinatedby the skill of truffle dogs also me being a horticulralisti would be gratefull on any training tips/advice on how too train my 11 mth old lab "cheeky"thank s.love the vid.ROB W.CARDIFF SOUTH WALES.
Hi there, Sounds like you could have a prime candidate for a good truffle dog there.Just have read of a few of there other posts iv told people . Few have asked on tips how to train their dogs ,so there's a few good pointers for you in the comments below. good luck.
This guy is seriously cool and knows his stuff! I have just had a conversation with the man and have learnt a lot as a result he was really helpfull and down to earth and is very passionate about truffles. The best person I've spoken to about the subject yet! A real nice guy thank you Skyedoggy for your time.
Hey Skyedoggy yeah it's coming on good I'm just getting to the point of burying the scent and getting him to find it. He loves the search so I'm sure he'll be good. The main thing is he loves it so I can't wait to be working with him good crack to be had for sure. Thanks again Skye if me and my hairy boy find one I'll be ringing ya there and then. You proper inspired me to do this and it breaks up throwing a ball for him this is a lot more engaging for him cheers Skye.
That puppy is awesome👍 he finds $$$ for you and in return he gets his favourite treats and a belly scratch. You can tell he has fun digging and sniffing along😋
Who was watching this video like, are you high? I mean if you reached the end of the video because in a normal mental state I would do next but high in magic truffles you can really see the talent on this guy, is not just a truffle hunter he’s a comedian as well hahaha and the best one because doesn’t need an inspiration based in what the other are doing wrong
This is my idea of heaven,one man and his dog on the hunt working together. I have a 1 year old working/show cross cocker who im training to find truffles,we have a pot with truffles/oil in bags we use and i started him off almost straight away at about 10 weeks old,he finds them all every single time but we've not found any wild truffles yet. Off season we search for gold balls ,we have hundreds :) My boy knows "find it " and "show me" just like OPs ,i KNOW he will be great at it ,we just need to find that first wild one.I honestly cant think of a better past time than being out with your best mate hunting. Seeing as this video is 8 years old now i wonder if your boy is still around and hunting? i hope so :) Thanks for the vid.
New sub here I like the video and the channel I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon we have them here too but I don't have the dog to go look for them we pick other mushrooms King Boletus chanterelles and others
I once found a truffle in a hole probably dug by a fox or a dog before it got scared off or called away, some guy with his dog saw me with it and bought it off me for £50, I was around 8 and regret having the chance to bring it home and let my stepdad cook with it 😂
Amazing trip bro, I love finding truffles but in the Middle East we found them easier than Europe because its appears clearly on desert than woods good luck. Btw nice dog I wish I had one
How do you keep him fixated on the Truffles throughout the rest of the year? Such an interesting, symbiotic relationship between Man, Dog and Mycology! EDIT- I realise you're now finding them all Year! Good bloody job!
He's just a normal dog most of the year ,come september when the hunt starts ,all i have to do is show him our truffle collction bag an he goes wild.He just loves the hunt.Its just another great pastime we do togeather.He also loves to go kayaking with me .He has his own life jacket ,were never apart .Hes my best mate for sure
I’m loving it, outside with dog like that…my grandfather used to sell blue leg mushrooms to the local shops …but truffles wow …how much per pound. Amazing.
Hi there ,thanks for your comment ,truffle prices here in the uk tend to fluctuate depending on the seasons good or bad ,but average price here is about £600 a kilo 2.2 pounds to you so half that .
Great video. I really enjoyed it, especially watching the lovely relationship with your dog. What truffles are you finding in this video? Summer Truffles? I think I might have truffles in a nearby wood, lots of little animal dig marks, so I should get scraping. :)
Really enjoyed the video. I'm doing some cooking with Truffle videos. Just got some Whitish Borchii truffles to play with and will put up a video soon. I love truffles. Do you ever find other truffle varieties?
Hi there. Yes you can find truffles with out the dog.Some years when weathers been just right the truffles can break though the surface,on poor years where the weathers been hot and dry they tend to be buried in the soil an a few inchs down or even more.The other way to find them is buy finding a truffle fly.This very small fly just loves the truffles that are close to the surface.It locates the truffles by perfume and lays a small egg on the truffle which hatches into a small grub. Theses small magots can decimate a large truffle in days.Find the fly and you find truffles.The way to find the fly is to use a small thin hazel cane , and gently brush the forest floor and the surrounding areas where you think truffles could be.Sunlight may help you see theses little critters fly up if disturbed. Google truffle fly to see what they look like.Funny really I grew a fly once in a jar just to see what they really looked like.I found a grub infested truffle an thought surly there's got to be a truffle fly maggot in that lot,low an behold ofter a week or so in the jar truffle flys,so now im sure if I disturb one I know what they look like..Anyway high ph soil is you main concern , thats the first step in finding the black Diamond. Truffles thrive in theses conditions.Tip of the day,follow the light through the tree's. The truffle loves to growb in damp warm sunlight preferably on the edge of beech forests.They also love deep leaf litter as a sort of growing medium , natural compost.If conditions are right early in spring ,damp but also warm ,wait and start looking around September for those which will brake through the surface ,or small earthy mounds appear where the truffle begins to grow and give off that perfume .All so a tell tail sign of truffles are small animal scrapings in the soil.Rabbits,badgers,squirrels also love them .Iv been asked in the past why truffles give of such a perfume. It simple ,for their survival. The truffle doesn't always have this pungent aroma in their early growing stages .As the truffle comes to ripeness it gives off this aroma as an attraction to small animals to be found and consumed ,passed through the animal and spawns spread .Another question im asked is how big are they ,well truffles can vary in size ,from the tiny to large tennis ball size .We usually say grams .My personal best is 460 grams ,large enough to hold in two hands. Large don't always mean good. Its all about the aroma. The restaurants tend to like small very round truffles as theses look pleasing to the eye when shaved on dishes. The larger ones usually end up chopped and made into a truffle puree or some sort of garnish or even a sauce.
Hi there,Thanks for the comment .If you read some of the replies iv made i have explained to many how to train your dog to find the elusive and wonderful truffle .Many thanks.
hi there, I have a fascination with fungi and noticed one of my dogs has starting collecting the odd mushroom while out on walks, on your video I notice the ground is quite dry did you make this video recently? and what are the chances of still finding these wonderful truffles in Hampshire?
Hi there,that day I was out was Christmas eve ,just gone.Although it looked dry it was wet under an inch or two down.This year has been poor for the hunt as we have had one of the driest summers for some time.You need sunny but damp springs and summers for the truffle to get a good start as they take about three to six months to grow.Truffles love beech trees and chalk soil.Their found under other trees but mainly under beech in our areas. You can still find truffles until the end of feb.I have found you can find them most of the year as the season are becoming warmer.
Ur dog did all that while my dogs wont even stop parking when i say half the time and when i call them they look at go to what their doing before i called em lol
Honestly I could care less about the truffles but the way he partners with his dog is lovely.
We have a very special relationship .I love him so much ,hes my best mate and wouldn't care if he never found another truffle .I know i will lose him one day an the thought of that is heart breaking.
@@TheSkyedoggy I know how you feel, but we have the time we have, you're making the most of it.
True
@@TheSkyedoggyhow is he doing?:)

I never thought truffle hunting adventure will be this entertaining. ❤ this dog is so sweet and smart. 😍😍
Well that Dog paid his vet bills ten times over. Good Boy! Peace!
I remember my dog bringing home something that looked like a rock... I figure out it was truffle.
Damn he chewed it rip

That puppy is awesome👍 he finds $$$ for you and in return he gets his favourite treats and a belly scratch. You can tell he has fun digging and sniffing along😋
The dog so cute and ...it so cute when that guy teasing that dog to eat the truffle 😊😊
I remember, 6 months ago my dog had brought something like a stone and it smelled like perfume, and now .... I know what it is
Its a truffle
Expensive af for a mushroom but worth it.
You have amazing dog ❤️❤️

Omg the dog is really cute😍

The way he talks to the dog is so funny and cute.
We'd make a great couple.

For some reasons, I thought a man will be hiding behind a tree and holding a chainsaw!
Good boy🐶❤️

This must be brilliant fun on a pleasant day.

Clever little pup.
Good pupy...nice...is money...so expansive
The dog pays for itself

Thanks very much for the interesting information/knowledge in your reply and happy hunting!!
Why is this fascinating and scary at the same time?
Love this sooooo much.
omg truffles are so good ....
if its that good ,farmer would keep it for themself
Amazing trip bro, I love finding truffles but in the Middle East we found them easier than Europe because its appears clearly on desert than woods good luck. Btw nice dog I wish I had one
Wow, I had no idea they would grown in a much hotter climate, especially in a desert!
Wow Good job, very nice dog
How do you keep him fixated on the Truffles throughout the rest of the year? Such an interesting, symbiotic relationship between Man, Dog and Mycology!
EDIT- I realise you're now finding them all Year! Good bloody job!

Would love to see more Vids of him!
You have a very loyal smart dog. Good dog and very pretty. I did't know what a truffle was and where they come from but now I do.
Out of curiosity how come you sniff the truffle and say mmm nice perfume
You can tell how good the truffle is by the smell ,and sniffing the soil you can locate the truffle easier. The soil takes on the beautiful perfume.
The truffle contains oil and has a distinctive odor.
It is magnific!
Great video :)
How do you train the dog? I have also heard of people training rats, pigs, etc. Also, where do you sell the truffles to? How big must they be?.
this was so fun to watch
