Starting in '93 when I moved to New Mexico, I got involved in Search and Rescue, specifically the training and use of dogs for both air-scent and tracking. There was an interesting fine line between training the dogs to be obedient and letting them think for themselves. An example is that the dog must come to the handler when it's called.... unless it's on scent. In that case, it should ignore (but alert) the handler and continue on it's path. I also did some training with the Border Patrol and their K9 units and the state police and learned how to handle a dog attack (from a different dog) while on a mission. It only happened once while I was out there and I had to intervene when a Great Dane/St Bernard mix attacked my Golden while we were training in the desert near a not-so-nice neighborhood. I only got bit once in the scuffle but I ended up with the dog in a body and headlock such that it couldn't do anything but struggle and whimper until the owner showed up. I had no intention of hurting the dog but mine took the opportunity to get in a couple last minute chomps at it's underbelly while I held it.

88 that picture has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. :laugh:

 

 

I have a 3 y/o Golden Retreiver (no picture though) and in my opinion one of the best and most beautiful breeds of dogs. I don't car to much for cats but my g/f and I are thinking of getting a kitten because some cats are cool and kittens are cute.
