Where are the pictures? New puppy and no pictures..... :nono
My wife took the picture.. I can't get a good profile shot..she keeps wanting to look at the camera lol
Pup is just right to start training.
Get a dead rabbit, roadkill or otherwise, put the carcass on a string and drag it around in an open area (backyard if big enough, a pasture would be better).
Don't let the dog see you doing this.
Wait a little while and then walk the pup where she will cross the track. Let the pup work the track out. Then reward her.
It would be good to work her with other older dogs, but she can turn in to a pack dog instead of a trail dog if done to much.
I prefer a good trail dog to another pack hound.
As far as hunting is concerned, if the rabbit (or deer) is not pushed hard, he will circle around to where he was jumped.Altuck
I'll try that thanks. Seems like like something reasonable I can do, and it definitely could help me during the hunting season to have a trail dog

Great looking dog. It sounds like you are going to have your hands full. If you keep that dog occupied, you will have a great dog that will work hard to please you.
If not, you'll have a good looking dog that will intentionally do things you hate just to piss you off. Thus getting your attention. It certainly sounds like you have great plans for her. Good luck!
You can train it with a dead rabbit or rabbit scent as suggested but the good thing about rabbits is they will circle alot in a small area once jumped by dogs normally (unlike a deer). We train all our deer puppies on rabbits in 1-2 acre pens to jump start them on hunting. If you can find a rabbit pen nearby then that'll let her do her thing and keep her safe without collars.
