Haha, loving this thread! For a moment I thought it was this guy who was on my local news in England the other week:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2217724/Nellie-truffle-hunting-hound-Suffolk-Family-pet-sniffs-valuable-delicacy-owners-garden.html
To cut a long story short his dog kept on running off and digging holes. Turns out she was excavating and consuming Tuber Uncinatum on a large scale so they trained her to drop them instead. He looks kind of similar...
... Clearly not a lot happens around here for this to make it onto TV.

"No! Bad dog!" And the dog is thinking, "Bitch, I'm trying to make you rich right now."

truffle prices are an oddity. Supply and demand dictate most prices but in the truffle market sometimes there aren't any around and the one or two you find could be worth more than their weight in gold. Other times there's so many truffles at the forager's distributor that you can get a pound of truffles for $50--- which is why I have a box of frozen white truffles in my freezer that I like to put in my soups and stews and sauces all the time--- it was CHEAP, and it only takes a half of one the size of a grape to really get the flavo4r into your cooking

Looks like there are some freelancers that sell em' on ebay. I think if I found something like that I would keep it. How many chances are you going to get with something like that.
No truffle thread should be without.......
