Who are Land Search and Rescue (LandSAR) Dogs?
LandSAR is a volunteer organisation of over 3000 people that assist with search and rescue missions in NZ
Trained LandSAR search dogs use scent and tracking skills which are often essential to rescues
LandSAR dogs have been vital in major New Zealand events such as the Christchurch Earthquakes
Did you know?
- Avalanche dogs use airborne scent to locate people under the snow
- Wilderness dogs are trained to follow ground scent where a person has walked (who may be lost)
- A New Zealand qualified area (or air scent) dog will ‘follow up’ the scent to the lost person, through heavy bush, along beaches, lake shores, over farmland and parks - during the day, evening and in the dark
