Δ What sort of dog is good for truffle hunting you ask?

Even though almost any breed of hunting dog can be used, we at Black Solitaire Ventures mainly utilise Labradors. Breeds such as English Springer Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Weimaraners and most types of Pointers can also be used with great success. We have years of experience in training detection dogs, which is a completely different discipline to obedience and sight training.


Δ With our truffle detecting dogs you can expect:

  • Complete odour recognition to both real Australian
    & French truffles
  • High degree of realistic training
  • Training in a similar environment to that where they
    will be deployed
  • Your preferred method of reward – Food or Play
  • Guidelines on how to work and maintain the truffle dog
  • Correspondence with Black Solitaire Ventures personnel for
    any issues that may arise through our Feedback Forum
  • Regular contact about the progress of the dog


    Δ Feedback Forum

    Black Solitaire Ventures provide a feedback forum for our clients, to give new truffle dog handlers/owners any support they may need. We are happy to answer questions, and provide advice on any issues that may arise. Please feel free to contact us by email at any stage.
