About Us
Many pet owners know the worry of a dog escaping from their garden or running off on a walk, and going missing, and have had to rely on friends and family to search the area in the hope of finding their missing pet. Now, for the first time in the UK, two bloodhound are being trained specifically for tracking lost or missing dogs.
It all started because Sam Clark, who trains bloodhounds to search for humans, was getting many calls and emails from frantic dog owners, hoping that her bloodhounds could help track down their missing pets. She always had to disappoint people, and try to explain to them her hounds were trained only to track humans. Sam then saw bloodhounds trained as Canine search dogs in the USA, where they have a very high success rate in tracking and successfully reuniting all missing and lost pets (not just dogs), and she decided to start training a bloodhound for this specific purpose in the UK, and form a charity that would promote the service and encourage people to get involved.
The first hound “Forager”, who is still a puppy, has started his training and is loving his work, and another hound “Baffle” has just started this summer.
Sam, Baffle and Forager will be out and about this summer through out the West Country, talking to the public at shows and events, about the hounds and their training. If you would like the hounds to come to your event and tell your visitors more about K9search dogs then please Contact us here.
