"My favorite thing about SAR work is being given the opportunity to help people in need.  Working with dogs, meeting great people and being part of a truly wonderful team are bonuses! "

"My least favorite thing about SAR work is an unsuccessful search. Going home and not knowing, especially when it's a missing child, is the hardest part of SAR for me."

"I'm a mom of three adult boys and a teenager, so most of the time I stay busy with school and sport activities and 4H animal projects.  I love spending time with family and if I can spend time with them while gardening, cooking, hiking, camping, shooting archery or hunting, even better!"

" Ice cream is my favorite food!"

"I believe this is the start of my second year."

"K9 Slim is trailing.

I attended my first CSAR seminar in an advanced area with K9 Natty.

Pigeon is in training for trailing with some article work. "

 "I'm a newbie with just 6ish years under by belt."

" So many things! Working with the community, the travel, meeting all the new people and the dogs! All of the things that we learn along the way. "

" The holes we find in the dark while trekking behind a bloodhound. "

" Outside of SAR I am working on being a mom to a teenage boy, while working full time with a rental management company. We recently moved from Wichita Kansas to Edmond Oklahoma, which has been a big thing and an adjustment for everyone. "

" I would like to explore the world of conservation detection after my son graduates high school. "

 Both teams can be found on Facebook.

"The challenge of a mission with no one knowing the outcome.  Getting to put all of your training and knowledge to the test and learning invaluable lessons you can’t recreate in training."

"Drying, cleaning, and reorganizing gear after a training/mission in the PNW!"

"I am blessed to have a full time dog job working an explosives K9 and team trainer for the Boeing Co."

"My husband and I make our yearly vacation in conjunction with the CSAR seminar.  We try and fit in as many NFL games as we can around the seminar.  We are always thrilled if it is anywhere near WI!!!"
