Natural Instinct?: The Truth About Scent Tracking Dogs
By Janis Cazares
Often you read about a heroic canine in various dog articles or you see a scent tracking on the local TV news in extreme heroic or tragic situations. Have you ever thought to yourself, my can do that! While it is true that a trained scent can be any breed or mix of that has the desire to work. The must have an excellent scenting ability and be large and strong enough to handle a very physical job. They must have lots of stamina, a sound temperament, and be able to work well with other dogs and people. Sporting dogs like the Labrador Retriever or the Golden Retriever often make an excellent scent tracking dog. Working and Herding breeds like German Shepherds, Bloodhounds, Newfoundlands, Dobermans and Rottweilers are highly motivated "workers", and also make a good scent tracking dog. The truth is not all canines are created equal.
The good news is that one trained scent tracking is as effective as ten trained human searchers. Their value is indisputable and a well trained scent tracking is worth the world to family and loved ones of those who are missing. These dogs are highly trained to find missing people and save lives. These truly heroic dogs rely on their powerful scenting ability and physical endurance in their work on search and rescue missions. They are specially trained to locate lost or missing persons in a specific area. Search and Rescue dogs (as they are commonly referred to) track human scent - microscopic particles that are carried by the wind for considerable distances. Every person has a unique scent, like fingerprints, and a scent tracking is able to discriminate and sniff out an individual person in a highly populated area. All they need is a sample of that person's particular scent. The scent tracking works day or night, rain or shine. They are especially effective where human sight is most limited - in the dark, in dense woods, in heavy brush, in disaster debris, and under water.
A scent tracking can be trained for a variety of specific situations:
Wilderness Search: These dogs search out a missing person who has gone lost in the woods. They are given a scent sample of the missing person, and assigned a specific area to cover.
Water Search: The Water Search works to find drowning victims, sniffing out human scent which rises
