Belarusian German Shepherd Becomes Scent-Detection Mushroom Hunter

Unique Canine Forager: German Shepherd Excels in Mushroom Hunting in Belarus A remarkable German Shepherd named Yusa is gaining attention for its extraordinary ability to locate mushrooms by scent in the forests of Belarus. Owners Alexander Gorbacevich, known as skyforest.ai, have successfully trained their dog to assist in foraging, transforming traditional mushroom hunting into a unique partnership. The video footage, uploaded on September 30, 2025, captures Yusa actively sniffing through pine needles and moss, leading its human companions directly to hidden clusters of mushrooms, including prized porcini. "She's so clever!" one owner exclaimed as Yusa located a mushroom. Another commented, "This is top-tier!" highlighting the dog's consistent success. The video documents hunts conducted both during the day and in the pre-dawn hours, with owners using flashlights to collect the finds Yusa uncovers. "It's an hour before dawn, and we're already collecting micro-mushrooms with flashlights," a voice-over notes, emphasizing the dog's proficiency regardless of light conditions. "If you think we found them, how could we find them in the dark? It's not us, it's Yusa!" This unusual skill not only provides an efficient method for mushroom collection but also showcases the incredible olfactory capabilities of trained dogs. The owners proudly display baskets filled with various types of mushrooms, a testament to Yusa's effective foraging. The unique collaboration between human and canine offers a fresh perspective on outdoor activities and animal training.
