ALI and ARCHIE

HOME

1. Archie at 6 weeks old having just been selected as a potential Search Dog

Archie meets some of the team at 9 weeks old

 

 

First formal search dog training session at 11 weeks

 

Training in the spring sunshine

 

Archie finds handler Ali amongst the rubble sacks

First holiday and learning to playin the waves with Sam the collie dog

and on the sand

Archie learns to wear rubble boots

Its very tricky

and feet just get all tangled up

 

Its always better to walk before you can run in rubble boots

Searching can be a very muddy business

Mutual appreciation society

 

Hanging out in lifting harness

Coming back to alert Ali at the Stourhead training weekend Jan 2010
