I know this picture is on every page but I figured it was time you knew the dog's names.  From left to right is:
Tazz, Kobe, Keno, Hunter, and Two-Way.       

This was a certification day for Keno and Kobe.  Also that day we certified another search and rescue team I trained.  Our Master Trainer that day was the President of North American Police Work Dog Association Mr. Harold Bennett.  From left to right:
Tucker, Mr. Bennett, Keno, and Two-Way

This is my oldest girl Keno, at ten years.  She has just finished a training exercise and is excited to get her treats.  She is the mother of Kobe, Two-Way and Tazz. 

This is Hunter doing his part to help teach everyone how to evacuate with their pets.  Hunter was the Chesapeake CERT mascot and assisted in education efforts about animals in disaster.  He attended events and parades, loved kids, and was also a therapy dog.  Sadly we lost him in Feb. due to chronic Lyme Disease.  

Hunter worked so hard he had to take a break.  He was laying down on the job.  

Kobe and myself wait to do our demonstartion at a Scout Jamboree in 2005.  There were 600 in attendance.  Here another handler in the distance is walking along the crowd and explaining what they are about to see.  

Kobe starts her trail to look for the lost subject.    

This was an actual search I was on with Kobe.  We stopped to confer our map of our task area.  Kobe was doing a scent specific area search.  

This was a search and rescue simulation I worked with Kobe.  They set it up like the real thing fro training purposes.  It was an extremely hot day and my water in my pack water bladder was low and hard to get out into my bottle for Kobe.  So I asked one of my team members to push on my bladder.  They found that comical and another member snapped the shot on with their camera phone.      

Two-Way is hot on his subject's trail.  This trail was only a couple hours old, but both him and Kobe worked one on March 20, 2009 that was aged 5 months.  They both did great jobs.  

Two-Way air scents his man, and walks up a downed tree to get a better vantage point.   

Two-Way finds his man, and gets his cookies.  

This was at a week long Human Remains Seminar, and myself and Two-Way were getting instructions prior to our run.  

Two-Way working during a week long Human Remains Detection seminar.  Here is searching all these containers to find the one(s) with Human Remains in them.  

This is Two-Way doing some PR work at a scouting event.  Here he visits with a scouts family and takes special interest in a baby.  They seemed to have an unspoken connection.   

This is Kobe and me (Kim Willis), at a mass casualty disaster drill.  Our simulation was a woman with a head wound wandered off.  We were advised she was in a certain location where a article of clothing had been left behind.  I used that for Kobe, and she trailed through 100 volunteers screaming, moaning, and begging for help.  There were emergency vehicles all around and she ignored them all.     

This is our youngest Jr. handler Brendan with Toby, a Rottie/Mastiff cross.  Yea is a brute looking guy, but he is a teddy bear.  I trained Toby and Brendan's mom, Catherine, who certified in man trailing with Mr. Bennett.  Soon after it was discovered he was injured during that certification and was put on light duty.  He is a great dog and we hope he recovers soon. 

Brendan with a few from my pack.  He is our youngest Jr. handler to date.  At this time he was only five years old.  We were all out for a hike.

Three out of my pack digging for field mice.  

This is Keno getting the horse buckets for me.  They are washed out after feeding and left out to dry.  She brings them to me one at a time. 

Keno bringing me a bucket.

While cleaning the horse pens, the horses sometimes get pesty.  Here is Keno circling the horses to hold them in that position.  

The horses have settled into their corner, so Keno holds an "at bay" position.  Here you can see the horses respect her and are happy to stay put.  

Keno hunts critters in a dead log.

Keno Lure Coursing.

Keno conditioning for weight pulling.  It is like any other sport.  You have to train to be good.        

Keno pulled 2150 at this trial, and in this photo almost pulled 2350 pounds.  The track was getting very rough, and the cart hit a bump she just could not get the wheel over, so the cart helpers gave her a hand so she would end with a pull.  Even if a dog cannot make a pull, they are helped so the dog actually thinks they did the pull.  She was only 64 pounds when she pulled the 2150 pounds.
