SEARCH DOG HANDBOOK Page iv Acknowledgements Sometimes I get really excited when writing a manual or article. That's the feeling I had when I talked with some of the authors of the books used in my research, because they were very helpful and supportive, and enthusiastic about this project. So, my thanks go out to the following people for allowing excerpts of their publications to be included in this handbook. Sandy Bryson, author of Search Dog Training Published by The Boxwood Press, 183 Ocean View Blvd., Pacific Grove, CA, 93950 Hatch Graham, author of 77 Fact about Search Dogs Marcia Koenig, author of Wilderness Search Strategy for Dog Handlers Material also excerpted from Scent and the Scenting Dog By William G. Syrotuck (deceased)
SEARCH DOG HANDBOOK Preface From time to time search dogs are used on a SAR mission. How should they be used? What are their qualifications? How have they been trained? These and other questions come up when managing a search. I looked around for a small handbook about dogs and handlers which would answer these questions, and which would be handy in my pocket. Couldn't find one. So I wrote this one. Well, I didn't really write it - this handbook is a compilation from several different sources, who are mentioned in the Acknowledgement, and who were kind enough to allow me to extract the facts and figures from their books. If one takes the time to plan the search and allocate resources to area segments which maximize efficiency/thoroughness, is there enough known about the dog and handler team resource to place the team in the right area, at the right time? Tip: Invite the dog handler into the search planning session. This handbook provides facts and figures about search dogs for Search Managers and Overhead Management teams. I hope it answers many of the questions which may come up during a search. How search dogs are trained is the subject material of numerous books, and is not included here (or this would also become a book). I hope you find it of value for general information and search planning. Many thanks go out to the reviewers of this handbook. Their comments were valuable and most appreciated. Mike Doyle Page v
