Honestly I could care less about the truffles but the way he partners with his dog is lovely.

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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.

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.

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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

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.

[@chriscampbell8037]

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.

Yo Chris.How you getting on training your pooch.chris campbell

[@chriscampbell8037]

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😋

[@wullieburnside7595]

Whether the dog is trained to do that or not, he looks like he’s having a great time.. his tail is like a pendulum, and he’s so gentle when he digs, almost like he knows to be careful not to damage the truffles.. awesome!

[@nicholasparsons5254]

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.

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. :)

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 😂

[@YeahNinjago]

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?

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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.

Do truffles grow in the USA because That looks so fun!

[@TheSkyedoggy]

Hi ,I know they grow in Oregon usa .

[@medicalgashi3319]

Hi there, is possible to find them without a dog, the place i live is untouched and im pretty positive there may be plenty of them ?

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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.

[@medicalgashi3319]

TheSkyedoggy Thanks for the tip, thats really helpful

[@StepByStepStudio]

Out of curiosity how come you sniff the truffle and say mmm nice perfume

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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.

[@hamzaa.8082]

The truffle contains oil and has a distinctive odor.

Brilliant little dog !!! What do you do with your truffles I have a restaurant and would love to support this

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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.

[@benhansen2557]

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.

[@TheSkyedoggy]

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.
