Hi new here with a Border Collie
Hi I am new here with A Border Collie named "Cody". Cody is trained in Cadaver recovery and Tracking and is now started in doing accelerant detection work (arson work) . This is my 1st post so I hope it goes thru ok. To see more of Cody you can go to http://www.angelfire.com/ny3/arsonk9/cody.html . I hope to be back when I understand this a little better. Everyone stay safe out there. Bruce & "Cody"
Thank you all for the warm Welcome to Pet Talk
Thank you all for the warm welcome here. It seems like an awfull lot of nice people in here. I have had trouble with the signature on here so I am now doing a Photo album of Cody's pictures that can be seen all at one time. Some may be ones already on my webpages. And by the way thank you all for your comlpiments on my webpages. Make sure you click on to all the links and see some of the things we have done here with dogs. The webpages cover everything from starting an accelerant detection dog to how my wife and Boss and I were called in to try to locate the grave from 1837 of a woman believed to be haunting a local mansion.http://www.angelfire.com/ny4/miaja38/vanhorn.html . And for those who don't want to read the page we did find her grave with the use of Cadaver dogs.
I have been very fortunate to have worked with Bill Tolhurst who is a leading authority on Scent dogs (bloodhounds) and is known world wide in his research of scent. He has written 3 books and has written articles for "Americas Most Wanted"'s Magazine "Manhunters" . So I hope you enjoy the other pages as well.
Bruce & "Cody"
Thanks Angel3 for Ned's Picture
Boy that dog does look like "Cody". Cody hasn't the white on his face but this dog could pass for Cody's brother. Facial expression is simular. This is my 1st Border Collie after having Labs almost my whole life. My wife was after my boss and I to look into the Borders fore our type of work (Scent discrimination) and I never listened to her. In 1999 sh saw an add for BC Puppies and went to look at them and brought Cody home. It didn't take long and this dog won me over. By the time he was 6 months old he was a trained Cadaver dog and at 1 year an excellant tracker. He also does evidence Collection (Checking crine scenes for anything with human scent on it) and is also working fire scenes as an Accelerant detection dog ( looking for possible accelerants used to deliberty set fires.)
He is an exceptional dog ( in my Book) and I owe it all to my wife for taking it on her own to bring him home. I am thinking of nominating him to "Dog of the Day" . He has earned it.
