We ask a great deal of the dogs working search-and-rescue.

SAR dogs must be independent thinkers even as they are collaborative partners, should exhibit high drive for the job, while at the same time possess the physical and psychological stamina the work may demand.  They should be communicative, confident and polite.  Focused on task and still situationally aware. Stubborn when they have to be.  Obedient when they don’t
