I'd still want a tracking system for her. The point is not to keep her off leash and just "find her". The point is to have a tracking system on her in case she became lost. I think you know my dogs are well trained

. I'm thinking of the Spaniel Safety Factor here, god forbid we ever need one, which I hope we don't but would rather be prepared.
Besides, leashes break, get dropped etc. A dog dragging a leash in the woods/mountains -- could be hung up, hanged, tangled, prevented from finding his/her way -- all the MORE reason to have a tracker!! I was hoping one of the small tracking devices intended for finding lost keys, etc would work but it sounds like they would not.
