Hi
I once met a lady who had worked her GSP as a mountain rescue dog and had been on call to emergency situations. I was wondering if any forum members know about this and how to get in touch with the mountain rescue organisations, dog trainers etc.? Ben is thinking he'd quite like to look into doing this with our GLP bitch.
The brother of my GWP was trained for the mountain rescue down in Devon. This was some time ago in the early 1990s. Not sure who you would conntact but try google.

But it's all flat down there - why do you need Mountain Rescue? Mountains are big things that rise out of the groound and are called funny names _________________ Aberdon HPR's. Good-looking AND Intelligent.
Devon does not have `mountains' but it has moors and hills that can `bite back'. I use to drive tractors on slopes where I had to keep my foot on the door frame in order to stay in the seat
And both moors have quick mists, bottomless bogs and barrow whites, and you don't want to feel the icy grip of a barrow white Annie
