Sam and I recently completed the certification with the Tennessee Department of Corrections Special Operations division as a mantraining team.

We went out training this weekend… here is a clip of the find after a 1.1 mile track that followed 3 dogs and 4 people with his target splitting off at the 3/4 mile mark. We also passed 17 hikers which he didn’t alert to at all.

Nice! Is that one at Tullahoma or elsewhere? All I could think was Sam was taking you right by all the not nice snakes.

What a smart boy.

We certified near Crossville at the Bledsoe County Correctional Complex. This particular track was in the Cherokee National Forest on Chilhowee Mountain.

And I always carry a .357 magnum when I’m in the mountains with a shot shell first up followed by 4 heavy Buffalo Bore hard cast lead for hogs or bears.

That is nothing but cool. It represents a bunch of hard work. Thanks for posting.

Bloodhounds are great, what a cool and useful skill and beautiful animals to boot.

Love him

Working dogs are fun to watch and you have one that can help Mr. Buffett find his lost shaker of salt.

Dogs like that should live forever.

Well done. We have a few dog handlers around here.

What a good boy!

He may do important work later.
