Any assistance dogs present ?

Hi guys, just a quickie, are there any/many Assistance dogs owned by Dogsey members ie Pat dogs, SAR, or any other Assistance jobbing doglets here ?
I ask in Virtual Show Sec mode

yes ..i offer to find your lost dog,we had a major forest fire in our are last spring,and many dogs went missing...my two dogos found four dogs alive and 2 dead... the dogs are not registard to do this so my services are free.....thousads of dallars were offered, i got more out of seeing owners reunited than takeing there money,it was closer for those who lost there pets and a feel good thing for me and my dogs

Yep, Jack is a PAT dog, we visit our local Hospice.


Here we are receiving a Cheque obo of PAT. I am the one on the right with short hair

We have been PATting for 4 years now, I am hoping that one day Tara can become a PAT dog too.

Bertie is a PAT dog and visits 2 hospitals a week.

Do they have to be real assistance dogs??

Takara's my 'informal assistance dog' and helps me with day to day things around the house as well as helping me get out and about.

She's entered for Friends for Life too - you can see here: www.pawsitivelypets.co.uk/friends4life.html

Hi Lottie, no, they don`t have to be registered assistance dogs, more a case of `do they do that something extra` either formally/registered or informally but trained to do things within the scope of tasks/jobs which are applicable under an Assistance dog umbrella
Takara is a very good example for potential responders of what would `qualify` an informal assistance dog for what I have in mind as Show Sec

Cool! then yes - count us in
