SARDA November 13, 2006

I had a busy and enjoyable weekend helping the great folks at SARDA - the Search and Rescue Dogs Association - with their monthly training. Basically it involves settling down on a hillside somewhere with a bivvy bag, a book and a flask of tea and simply waiting for a dog to find you! Needless to say, liquid refreshements were also enjoyed on the Friday and Saturday nights :-)
It was good to see so many new dogs doing well in the training. Corrie, the collie donated by children’s TV show Blue Peter, is turning into a great search dog. It’s great to think that some day these dogs will end up saving a life somewhere, often not even in mountainous terrain due to the increasing use of search dogs in urban and semi-rural settings.
