Handler : Bonnie Laidlaw
Before her search work, Bonnie instructed classes and showed her personal dogs in American Kennel Club (AKC) obedience, finding success and delight in AKC tracking, as well. It was a natural progression to searching, starting with wilderness air scent, and adding human remains detection when the need for cadaver dogs became clear. Bonnie is certified National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR) Sartech II.
