Was helping my BIL's plant some rice Saturday, driving a tractor all day with radio on, 97.3 the DAWG, a spot played several times during the day of the owner thanking everyone for their support and help during the search for his dog. Very classy gesture on his part. He said he may never see Eli again, but glad he lives in a community such as ours.

He has made peace with the fact that Eli probably isn't coming back. Getting back in the saddle may take some time but he will get another dog and possibly very soon or atleast half a dog.

Some bonds with men and their dogs go beyond others. - I hope he has as much enjoyment with the next one as he did with Eli.

My next journey will be beginning in 2 weeks - meet K9 Luna!

You can...... But not sure of the results. If you send him on a retrieve he may come back with a joint.

Def a "Rock" dog.
What's one of those set ya back without the kill training? They're high maintenance and not for anyone without dog experience but I would love to own one.

You definetly need to know how to work the "on/off" switch!!!

Depending on level of training, and intended use causes huge ranges in price. A dual purpose (apprehension/detection) dog is going from $8-14K with handler school. Straight detection dogs are going from $4500-6K depending on dog, with bomb detection taking top money in that category.

I was hosing out kennels the other day that had a female GS in one of the runs. Pretty dog but huge piles of $hit compared to the labs. And STINK, I couldn't train one of the young dogs on the FF table the smell was so bad. But I asked the guy how much smarter they are than labs and he said about 3x as smart. They want to please but will also outfox you quick. I thought that was pretty cool. Would love to watch a seminar one day showcasing their skills.

I found that food makes the CRAP, not the dog. When I run out in the middle of the night not remembering to get my normal food, I stop by the local Walmart and get Pedigree or Purina to last me until I make back to the feed store. Next day, I have a mess!!! I use Diamond Premium and I find it to be a great food, with less waste.

I don't agree on his statement as them being smarter than labs. I am assuming "GS" meant a German Sheperd dog in your earlier post. We are using Belgium Malinois and Dutch Sheperds, and I have seen some pretty dumb ones, just like any breed. Some pups fail, some excel - that simple. I will say that the ones that succeed in our business seem to be the ones that want to please the handler. When you have to carry extra water and have ice delivered to cool your dog down while tracking, that dog is not doing it for him - he's doing it for the handler! I have also seen some great dogs ruined by not having a "alpha" handler and could not be controlled. They will test you and you need to be prepared for them pushing the envelope. At the end of the day, it is all a game to them and they are like teenagers.

I trained my first lab when I was 15 with the help of my dad's friend who was a part time trainer and ran HRC. My first narcotics dog was a lab. I thought I had the pinnacle of a dog, then I was introduced to these machines. Just when I think we have seen all they can do, they do something else. Hard to describe. Whether alerting to a kilo hidden in a hidden compartment that takes 3 hours to find, or tracking a nursing home patient that wondered away with dementia, on the same command that tracks the guy who just raped a woman - all the time knowing which one to bite when we get there. Or the dog that winds a bird with a broken wing while setting out decoys and brings in the first duck of the morning without firing a shot.

All the same thing and the same response ~ humans fascinated with their dogs!!!
