25.01.2022 Take two! AS-K9 inc team members- Mariska, Wade and myself travelled to Victoria to attend a workshop hosted by SARDA, and what an awesome week we had! 1857km and 3 days to get there we were all pleased to get on the ground! A 5 day workshop with 2 international trainers was fantastic! Thank you John and Steve! Thanks Julie and Andrew, and all of the team for having us... We learnt some new skills and have a bunch of information to take back to Qld and share with the rest o...f our team... I would also like to congratulate Mariska and K9 Bill for passing their re-certification under 2 international assessors from the UK accrediting to the NSARDA UK Lowland standard.... Well done!

24.01.2022 Next came the big trip south to Victoria! Team members Mariska, Wade and myself departed Qld and made our way towards the southern state to attend a 5 day workshop with SARDA! We are excited to be able to train with the SARDA team and with two instructors from the UK.... It’s now the end of day 3 and all dogs are doing well with some nice searches set by our instructors.....updates and photos to come!

22.01.2022 OK Rocky come and find me!!

21.01.2022 ****** Certification and Workshop******* AS-K9inc are holding a Workshop in March with Julie and Andrew Cowan from SARDA Victoria! With our latest dog and handler team ready for certification and our policy that all our teams are certified by 3rd party assessors, we have taken this opportunity to bring the SARDA qualified assessors up to Qld for assessment of our team and a 4 day workshop!... Having Qualified and Certified canine teams ensures that all our teams are of the highest standard available to assist when called upon by emergency services, officials and families to help find the lost or missing! Not only are the dog teams assessed on their ability to locate people but are also required to ignore livestock and wildlife and any other distractions that come their way. The handlers are also tested on their ability to have full control of their canine partners ensuring that only the best teams are deployed and will get the job done!

18.01.2022 A big couple of weeks for AS-K9 members! Firstly we were invited to attend a training exercise with QPS and SES where 2 people were lost on a ridge... The canine team were on standby while SES did the initial search. About 10.30 am we got the call to deploy and made our way up to the top of the ridge where K9 Bill was to start his search... at about the 1 hr 24 min mark after some hill climbs and bush searching K9 Bill located the two missing people! Well done team!!

18.01.2022 We hope he is found safe and well. Prayers and well wishes for Mark and all his loved ones.

15.01.2022 SARDA team Julie Cowan and HRD Dog Rayne spent last week being deployed to NSW to work on two Cold Cases - 1972 and 1994 respectively. The first case in Western Sydney working alongside Police Dog Unit - NSW Police Force provided significant information allowing the family to continue their search for their missing family member. The second case on the Central Coast involved the use of three Certified HRD teams - Julie Cowan & HRD Rayne invited AS-K9 Inc team Jill McCarthy a...nd her two Certified HRD dogs Voodoo and Pippa to attend this location. Again we provided significant information for the family of this case and we were pleased with the way the dogs achieved a result for them to gather more information. Now the work on both cases has provided strength & hope for the families & this is why we do this. Our services are continuing on these cases. Thank you Jill McCarthy and Kerry Hanson for your support alongside assistants and family members.

15.01.2022 Happy international dog day from AS-K9, Murphy and River

08.01.2022 Hi, Stony Point Caravan Park had some very special guests over the Melbourne Cup weekend, 5 beautiful Search and Rescue dogs and there trainers. This is a short... note that they wrote. AS-K9 (All search canine) team members spent the last 5 days staying at a great little camping spot at Stony Point in Victoria while attending a search and rescue workshop hosted by SARDA ( Search and Rescue Dogs Australia). The team travelled down from South East Queensland to train new dogs and re-certify our land SAR dogs. Have a safe trip home team. See more

08.01.2022 And that’s a wrap! A big shout out to SARDA team leaders Julie and Andrew Cowan for travelling up to Qld from Victoria to deliver a fantastic workshop! Unfortunately the assessment part of the weekend had to be postponed due to team member K9 Ted picked up a bug and wasn’t his usual ‘kelpie’ self... it was decided that the assessment be re-scheduled at a later date to give Ted some recovery time! I would also like to thanks team members Mariska and Wade for having us at their property for the 4 day weekend. Also thank you to our ‘lost’ people we can’t train these dogs without you!

04.01.2022 A big shout out to Lena Clifford from Biomechanical Solutions for her valued work on our dogs before we left for our trip to Victoria, the dogs were on point with their work. Having Lena work on them is paramount to keeping these dogs in great physical condition for the job that they do!

03.01.2022 Well done team SARDA on your recent deployment in Victoria! A fantastic outcome for all those involved in the search and rescue of young ‘Will’...
