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.
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.
Great video inspired me to go dig for some too but I would like to ask how much u sell them for a pound, how many you find for example in one hour and can I harvest them all the way from November to February?
high there, Iv been hunting the allusive truffle for quite a few years now . I'll be honest with you , it took many years of research into what soil their most happy growing in , the areas they particularly were prominently likely to be , hours of map reserch looking at the right forests.In particularly the right age of the right tree that will produce a truffle .Put all that all that together and train your self, and your dog and you might find a truffle within a year. As for the price , it can vary as to the condition can dictate its price and that growing years conditions. ie if its been just right that year to start the growing process off,early spring damp and warm would be right to produce a good chemistry for a good truffle season. On the other hand dry season wouldn't produce the right amount of moisture to in courage the fungus to grow.Which brings me back to price , good season loads about , price can vary from £180 a kg to £300 kg for top quality. Poor season not many about , prices can rise considerably . As for how many you can find can also vary . I've personally traveled 300 miles around to just collect a kilo because theres been such a great demand .Obviously the price was high as its not worth it.Iv now found closer to home secret locations that I don't have to travel that far too.You can be lucky and find the right location and find a kilo in a hour or only a few grams . I say I don't do it for the money but it does help pay for dog food as I have a few and vet bills . I'll be honest and say you could never make a living out of truffle hunting.I just love to be out with my boy rooting about seeing and finding new and beautiful locations. happy hunting.
How do you eat them? Did you cook them any kind of way? Cuz I've never had one and curious about what do they taste like and why are they so rare that people treasure them. But for you, it seems like something regular lol
Johny Yang It's funny ,but I suppose I sort of take it for granted because I can get them anytime. You forget their very rare. l find the best way is to just shave them on pasta, eggs well almost all meats ,make truffle cream ,butter .There's no end to what there great with. Taste is very unique, sort of like earthy leafy nutty smooth but in a pleasant way.The perfume is also very unique sort of sweet. They also look very strange ,almost like man made.They are covered in small piramid like warts ,but when shaved the have the most amazingly intricate marble like centre. Very delicately formed .
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
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?
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
What kind of Truffle is that? I mean, you´re in a Beech Forest and White/Black Truffle grow in Simbiosis with Oaks or other Quercus family trees. There are more truffles; any idea of the name? Not saying there are bad; probably with medicinal qualities. There must be some down here too, as we have Beech Forest; first time I see picking up. Enjoy. The waterdog too!
Hi there, looking to start training my dog in this. how long would it take a clever dog to learn? any tips for traing vids on here please? thanks a lot mate. Colm
Can you only find 1 truffle in any certain location then? Seems strange not to search around for anymore in the same hole.. Apologies, I'm new to this but great stuff.
Hi there, You very rarely find two truffles in the same hole ,side by side yes. If you can imagine a long root like fungus that's attached to the tree root spreading a few inches or even deeper .At the end of each fungus brach theres a fruiting body ,this is the truffle.The truffle spawn attaches it's self to the tree root at it begging stages of its development. The truffle gets much needed sugars and various minerals from the tree ,and the same for the tree from the truffle.They both need each other .Perfect symbiotic partnership.
Hi there. Because there wild truffles ,I've had particular interest from the French .Their very interested in producing the British truffles ,well trying to grow our truffles on their trees.The wild British truffle has much more in delicate aroma with a rich nutty and leaf litter earthy flavours. In my opinion some of the best that nature can produce. Unlike some of the other truffle hunters out there ,that find their truffles in one place ,I can travel as much as two hundred miles a week in peak season just to find that special truffle.As these truffle are found from various secret locations ,they all have their own little difference. I have a few regular customers, but I like the policy, first come first served. season for me if weather's been just right ,warm and damp starts about July ,August ,but mainly September. White summer truffles ,with their pungent perfume to start with later the more darker truffles stronger earthy flavour with great marble centre. All enquiries welcome.
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
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?:)

Well that Dog paid his vet bills ten times over. Good Boy! Peace!
I never thought truffle hunting adventure will be this entertaining. ❤ this dog is so sweet and smart. 😍😍
I remember my dog bringing home something that looked like a rock... I figure out it was truffle.
Damn he chewed it rip
L0l
rich dawg
Lucky
Ya full a shite yah🤭
That dog is like a metal detector for truffles :O
*Truffle* *Detector?*
Better then a metal detector actually it will find it for you and dig also.

@@TheSkyedoggy that's so sweet. I hope he is still well and healthy
Love this sooooo much.
owner and dog are amazing he doesnt push the dog to much to search and the dog loves it to walk around in the forrest.
This must be brilliant fun on a pleasant day.
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?.
fascinating sir what a delightful gourmet dinner with the family I bet you had,thank you for sharing.
José Sosa haha i dont think he can easily make a grand with those 2 truffles
Where does he say he’ll make a grand?
It's so Satisfying :-) thank you

Why is this fascinating and scary at the same time?

Awesome experience! Thanks for sharing with us! May I ask what did you do with the truffles afterward?
Most of them got eaten by me, and a few given to friends
