So this is the result of a three-day recent out-of-state historical K9 HRD project. K9s Riley, Belle and Kili did some tight gridding.

Join us in congratulating Sally and Torr. This weekend they became an official HHRD team passing our third party certification. Well done.

We are excited to support Cairn Canine Detection and Cascadia Search Dogs on this project.

Thank you Anna King with Northwest Public Broadcasting/Northwest News Network for creating this excellent radio broadcast and article about the history of (Mool-Mool) the Fort Simcoe Native American boarding school in Washington. We feel truly privileged to be able to support Jon Shellenberger and E...

Yesterday Julie and Cindy of K9FF with K9s Ruby and Riley organized a great joint historical training at the beautiful old Discovery Bay Cemetery with CSD guest handlers Kristine Lesperance and Suzanne Elshult and K9s. Beautiful day and great search conditions.

This is what Cindy ran into at a recent project in Eastern Washington. The snake did his job by warning her and she did hers by retreating.

K9FF contractor Dan and Belle finding a tooth! Good girl Belle. We are glad this team has returned to the PNW after being gone for an extended period of time.

We meet some real interesting and nice people when exploring cemeteries. This group met with Cindy/K9FF and Suzanne/CSD and shared some very intriguing stories including the one referred to in the unusual gravestone on the photo. We look forward to helping Holly Cemetery locate unmarked gravestones when we train there with our historical human remains detection dogs.

Sometimes we relax together after working hard.

We are grateful to support some very important work with the tribes. These young kids were so interested in the work we do with our dogs. Kili and Keb/CSD were basking in the attention.

05/15/2023

A lot of our work involves working closely with tribal communities and being aware of historical and cultural practices. Here one of our members attends a Powwow at the Edmonds College.

What ya’ got there Riley? Good dog!

Keb, one of our historical human remains contractor detection dogs, is featured in an article of the Just Labs Magazine May/June edition: “In Debt: Searching and Finding” article by Jen Reeder https://justlabsmagazine.com/in-their-debt-searching-and-finding/.

Spend some quality time with your favorite buddy this weekend!

Happy International Search and Rescue Dog Day

K9 Belle all geared up in her new booties to take on prickly pear cactus on a recent project.

04/22/2023

Several of our teams and contractors just returned from a productive search in Eastern Wa. Ran into some prickly pears and had to watch out for rattlers who thankfully still found it too cold to crawl out of their holes.

04/04/2023

K9 Keb, one of our very seasoned contracted dogs, was recognized for a productive 13 year career as a detection dog at the Seattle Mariners game against the Los Angeles Angels last night. She got to do the ceremonial first pitch with her handler Suzanne Elshult and her co-author of their recently published book - A Dog’s Devotion. Keb even got introduced to the Mariners Moose but seemed somewhat unimpressed with this apparition.

Good networking at the Society for American Archaelogy annual conference in Portland with the Canine Forensics Foundation President Lynne Angeloro and Suzanne Elshult in attendance.
