Canine Truffle Hunting and Training Canine Truffle Hunting and Training visit numerous Victorian truffle farms each year. We also provide 3 levels truffle dog training courses.

Offering highly professional team including Kovu and Zara the professional truffle hunting dogs. Kovu has found truffles at multiple young farms who had not been able to find truffles. He works happily even if there is only a few truffle to be found. He is extremely determined to find some, however he wont alert unless he is certain there is a truffle there. He is extremely accurate in his marking

(within 15cm) and thus we go to truffieres who have there own dogs but would like a second opinion and we always find extra truffle. If you have a trufffle farm and wish for a experienced truffle dog to find your truffles or have a second opinion come through your farm, please contact us via email or phone (see the contact us section). I am also available to help you trained your own dog to find truffles. I work along side you in person to show you how I trained Kovu to be determined and accurate in finding truffles. If you would like to see Kovu in action please visit our website:

Spring is in the air and the Australian Tuber Borchii can feel it!! Watch my video posted today as to the difference in digging techniques for tuber borchii (bianchetto) compared to tuber melanosporum.
These borchii are being grown and harvested from innoculated hazelnut trees in Mornington Peninsula region today with expert truffle dog Kovu finding them.
Truffles rinsed and will then be cleaned carefully with a tooth brush after these pictures were taken.

Last week I got to meet Fred Pizzini from Pizzini Wines in King Valley. We had a very surprising hunt where he wasn’t expecting anything as the previous two years there were no truffles found but this year was different! Finding just under 1.2kg on this hunt. Best feeling finding first truffles!
