Truffière Harvesting Services

Your truffles are in the ground. Getting them out — at peak ripeness, without damage, with dogs that know what they’re doing — is where we come in.

Truffle Dog Company provides professional harvesting services for commercial truffières across North America. Our teams work with established growers and newer orchards alike, bringing trained dogs, experienced handlers, and over a decade of field knowledge to every harvest.

Professional Dog Teams for Your Truffière

We deploy experienced truffle dog teams to survey and harvest cultivated truffles on commercial orchards. Our dogs are specifically trained for truffière work — not just wild hunting — which means they understand the orchard environment, work methodically through planted rows, and alert reliably without damaging fruit or root systems.

We have teams operating on both the West Coast and East Coast, and can connect growers in other regions with vetted handlers from our advanced student and instructor network.

Our teams have successfully located and harvested cultivated truffles on truffières in British Columbia, Oregon, California, Idaho, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, New York, and beyond.

Species we work with: Périgord black (Tuber melanosporum), Summer & Burgundy (Tuber aestivum/uncinatum), Bianchetto (Tuber borchii), and Pecan truffle (Tuber lyonii).

Not Sure If Your Orchard Is Ready?

We get this question a lot. Knowing when to bring in dogs — and what to expect from a first survey — is something we’re happy to talk through. We’ve worked with orchards at every stage, from trees that are just entering their production window to established truffières looking to optimize their annual harvest. Reach out and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Dog Selection for Your Program

If you’re building your own truffle dog program — whether you’re a commercial grower wanting an in-house dog or a landowner looking to get started — we can help you select the right dog for your operation. Breed, temperament, and working style all matter, and we’ll help you make a choice that fits your specific context.
