K9 SAR Inc has joined as a member of ASDF and have resolved to ensure to follow the Rules and Regulations as set forth by the Federation to ensure a Standardisation of Learnings and Assessments. Thus creating a stronger Canine Search Community to ensure that we no longer continue to just train, but to ensure that canines and handlers are deployed in their respective fields of expertise and that each associated Team can have Mutual Aid Agreements between all members, knowing they are all trained and assessed to the same standards.
This is an exciting time and something that those who have met us and spent any time at our training meetings know is something that we have been working towards for many years.
We are grateful to those who have spent their time and money and passion to build this federation and excited to join like minded groups from around Australia to ensure the standard of training in both dog and handler, search technician and support team is consistent and at a level the community can be proud of.
