No not that one, it's called Working Dog Forum , mostly US based but they have a SAR section.

We had a lowland search training group for around two years with Tom as trainer. We were setting up as a formal lowland search team but it didn't materialise for a number of reasons

Thanks, I will have a look. There was a SAR section on the protection forum too, but it was pretty empty and uneventful

Oh what a shame. Must have been very interesting training though.

Went for this one, as I do think the other one looks a bit bulky.

Very posh LOLOL

Sorry no exciting stories of heroic rescues, some not so funny stories tho' about the people who got lost after imbibing too much beer on a very warm day !

A friend, Denise Barley,did SAR in Scotland with her Beardie Dog, Quinbury Stormdrifter at Runival CD Ex, AKA Bob. She was once taken by 'copter to a search & the snow was too deep for the 'copter to land, so Denise was told to jump out, but Bob was lowered very gently by the winchman ! The snow was almost as deep as Denise is tall !! the rest I will leave to your imagination Bob was a super dog & was also a show dog, he won BOB at Crufts one year.

So you will be able to see him in the dark!

Bob sounds brilliant - I can only imagine how his coat coped in all that snow Denise should write a book I have just had "Search Dogs and Me" by Neil Powell (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Search-Dogs-.../dp/0856408670) and I can't wait to start reading it.

I have also read another SAR book - Search Dog by Angela Locke, and I remember being surprised at just how many walkers/climbers die in the Cumbrian hills and fells (after growing up in Cumbria and spending half my life there).

Haha yes ... just need a willing volunteer now to disappear on to the moors in the pitch black
