Okay, it's not Anderson News, but I didn't know where else to put it. The Indiana K9 Search and Recovery team were called by Fishers PD to search a field close to where the man, missing since August, worked. I am a member of INK9SAR. This is a great group of people and dogs. I am glad to see them get the recognition for a great job. This will hopefully give the family members some closure.

You have a K9 working dog?
“If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay as he is; but if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have a pup that I am training with the INK9SAR to be a working dog. She is an 8 month old Giant Schnauzer. I have been training her since she was 10 weeks old. So right now she is a K9 playing dog. She is doing really well in training, though.
Medic has a SAR dog. I am not 100% sure, but I think it is a Trailing Search Dog. So, it searches for live victims. He could tell you more about his own dog. I just know he has it and doesn't call me to help with trails and trainings.
I always thought those would be great jobs. How's it going?

Like I said, she is doing really well in training. We just got back to training after a group wide break for the holidays. She is doing an excellent job on cadaver. She was struggling a bit on trailing, so we dropped that for a while until she gets a little older.
Didn't know Schnauzers had the nose for it.

You would be surprised. Most dogs can do it very, very well.
Yorkie or Papillon?

Maybe a little small for search work. You need to have a dog big enough that it won't wear out too quickly from running it's little 3 inch legs to search a big field or building.
yeah, they're too small. what about sheltie-sized?
