Raffle Winner:  John Preston had the ticket, but not the joker
 
Program:
Matt Gatzke announced our guest speaker: Jeanne Menard of New England Kanine Search and Rescue. She has been involved with the group since ’99, and Jeanne usually speaks before younger aged crowds on the topic of getting lost, but the topic fit right in with the Bow club.
Some of the things Jeanne mentioned:
  • There are currently 6 certified handlers, and there are 3 training dogs currently in the pipeline.
  • They perform 30-40 searches per year, and the major concentration is New Hampshire
  • NH Fish & Game contacts New England Kanine Search and Rescue when assistance is needed
  • A general search assignment can cover 60-80 acres
Jeanne brought a search dog with her and performed a quick demo of their teamwork. Blaze was able to find an item hidden beforehand and indicate to his owner its location.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Louf
