How to Find Truffles

Avoid the daytime. Learn from your dog.

"‘‘Pigs just want to eat the truffles,’’ Gatti says. ‘‘Dogs are much easier to work with.’’ He owns six lagotto romagnolos, the preferred canine breed for the job. ‘‘If you are just starting out, get an expert dog,’’ he says. ‘‘A dog can teach its owner to find truffles.’’"

So many older dogs have had catastrophic lives.
Know what kind of pack you are joining.
