John Jeanneney has owned and hunted with European wirehaired dachshunds since he brought his first dachshund back from Germany in 1965. Ten years later, after he had lost a wounded deer himself, he applied for a research license from New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation to investigate the feasibility of using leashed tracking dogs. In 1976 the New York State DEC issued him a “Scientific Collector’s Permit” to investigate the use of leashed tracking dogs to find wounded deer in New York. Was it a practical method? Would hunters and the general public accept this? With Don Hickman he founded Deer Search Inc. to extend the research across the state. In 1986 the use of leashed tracking dogs was legalized by the New York Legislature and the Governor. Since this date the use of leashed tracking dogs has been authorized in 21 other states.
