#WELCOMETOTHETEAM

Hot on the heels of Spot who recently joined the team, Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) have a new contender for the cutest member.

Introducing Cooper, a 4 month old Labrador cross German Wirehaired Pointer, who is our latest trainee search dog.

Congratulations to Nicola, Cooper’s handler, who was recently accepted to become a trainee dog handler by Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England (MRSDE).

Nicola would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported her in getting to this stage. All of the team who work and train with the dogs are excited at the prospect of another puppy to play… sorry train with.

Good luck to both Nicola and Cooper as they embark on the journey to become a qualified, operational search dog team.

NEW TRAINEE

Saturday, 28 November 2020

#NEWTRAINEE

Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team have a new trainee, and perhaps the cutest one yet!

Please welcome Spot who joins his handler, Simon Adams, on the team as he begins the long journey to become an operational search dog.

Spot is a six month old Collie, joining a team full of experienced trainee and operational search dogs who will help look after him.

The support of the team will be invaluable as all Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England (MRSDE) dogs undergo an intense training and assessment programme for up to 3 years before they are accredited for operational work. This training and assessment continues throughout their operational life to ensure their skills remain at the highest level.

The dogs love the work they do and a highlight of our team training is acting as a dogs body, hiding in the hills to be found by a smiling and energetic dog. Just watch out for those puppy teeth!

#SEARCH DOGS

During a cold and rainy weekend in February 2020, before the COVID19 restrictions were in place, a group of 3rd-year Digital Television Production students from Ravensbourne University, London joined Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England (MRSDE) dogs, handlers and dogsbodies from Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) as they completed one of their regular training sessions at Widdop and Langfield. The result is a wonderful insight into how the dogs & handlers work whilst searching for a missing person.

CVSRT and our MRSDE dog handlers would like to thank all the students involved who took the time to capture the search dogs in action and present the results in an engaging film. You can see more of their work on Facebook and Instagram under the name @animalsoncall

Search dog visitors from Germany

Saturday, 01 August 2020

CVSRT is very fortunate to have 6 qualified MRSDE Search dog handlers in the team, working 4 air-scenting search dogs, and two dogs in training (…possibly a third aspirant pup, but that’s another story, Sssh!!)

To maintain the search skills of the dogs, the handlers train with them twice weekly, searching for dogsbodies (volunteers hiding from the dogs), as well as regular training with the full team. Life in lockdown and adhering to social distancing guidelines obviously has its challenges when it comes to training, however search dog training is naturally a socially distanced activity with dogsbodies generally hiding 500mtres apart in remote locations, like moorland or rocky outcrops.

CVSRT always welcomes the opportunity (when appropriate), to work with other emergency services, neighbouring rescue teams and fellow rescue personnel visiting our operational area. Recently the team welcomed Stephan Rosenburg and Silvia Crowley, two search dog handlers from Rettungshundestaffel Fuerstenfeldbruck based near Munich. They were with their search dogs, Isa (Isa les Gardiens de l’ Esprit Hardi), a Beauceron and Arabella (Shamrock Shepherds’ Arabella), a White Swiss Shepherd.

During their visit, the couple attended a socially distanced, full team search training exercise at Norland Moor, which focussed on a 3k rapid path search for items left by an ‘exercise’ high risk missing person. The visitors also attended the twice weekly dog training at two locations around the region. This was a great opportunity to exercise the dogs, share knowledge and practise techniques, and enjoy the stunning views around the Calder Valley.
