Search and Rescue Dogs For Sale
Search and rescue is one of the many jobs that German Shepherds excel in performing. They learn quickly to ignore distractions and get right down to business. German Shepherds can be trained for several different tasks common to successful search and rescue.
A German Shepherd which is trained to trail can discern the difference between different scents. Once the scent is given from a piece of clothing, the dog will follow it and no other. When the German Shepherd is trained to airscent, it can be used to find missing persons without a personal belonging. A tracking dog learns to follow the freshest scent.
In many search and rescue situations, a dog that can maneuver in the unstable conditions left by a natural disaster is extremely valuable for discerning the presence of people in the rubble. These dogs save many lives each year.
German Shepherds have such a keen sense of smell that they can detect human scents even in water. This can narrow the search area when trying to find a person who has drowned.
