Hoofprint Flurry

Born: March 14, 2013. Sire: Hoofprint Tupac Dam: Hoofprint Pendana Bred By: Joanne Chanyi Owned and trained by: Cheryl Dash in Alberta, Canada. The test we took this July 2015 was with an American company (Objective First Tactical K-9) while we were attending a Cadaver/Trailing Seminar in Kalispell, Montana. The standards tested on were for the Human Remains Detection (Land) and Flurry passed with no problems, even in 100 degree temperatures. His bark alert is bang on. This is Flurry’s first certification in any profile. We are now waiting to be certified in wilderness and ditch through the Canadian Search Dog Association sometime this summer/fall. He shouldn’t have a problem with that. In addition to the SAR work, we have also been screened in for Zebra/Quagga Mussel detection. Check out the Working Dogs for Conservation website. This is a new initiative through my current employer (Alberta Environment and Parks) in which dogs are used to detect the invasive species. I didn’t want to take on a new dog, so I had Flurry tested and things are good to go for next year if I still want to pursue it. Cheryl Dash
