VHF GPS tracker

My dogs are english setters so you dont have to wonder anymore.,.,.,. a tracker should be able to get attached to the dogs collar..this is the main size/waight limitation.

What I am asking is a very typical gps tracking product mainly offered by garmin

and dogtra Pathfinder2 GPS Dog Tracking and Training System

I think that there must be a less costly way to send a gps signal to someone using LORA or vhf (no 3g) technology in a 1-5 mile range

So I was wondering if arduino can help towards this end....
