Tracking Domestic Animals?

Solo-Malee asks: "My sister has a blind hunting dog (yes really) and will soon be moving to the wilderness area of Sweden. She is really worried that her dog will run off after the first elk that it sees never to be seen again (since he's already run off numerous times already). Are Slashdot readers aware of any practical inexpensive tracking system that can be applied to domestic animals?"

False cognate. In English, it's called a Moose.

There are no elk in Sweden or any other nordic country except perhaps in the zoo. What you probably mean is a moose or alces alces. Alces alces is called älg in Swedish, elg in Norwegian, hirve in Finnish. The first two probably derive from German, which is elch, thus the mistake.

elk is Cervus elaphus or wapiti or some such beast.
