K9 SARTECH II Testing Winter 2008
K9SARK Team members test for their NASAR K-9 SARTECH III and II certifications during
the winter of 2008. This is a national certification with only a handfull of search
dogs in the state obtaining the title. The certification requires a written test of
general SAR skills along with skills for the K-9 handler. A pack check follows the
written test. A searcher must have and carry all the equipment listed by NASAR
in a 24-hour ready pack. After the pack check the K-9 handler and their dog must find
a hidden victim in a timed test over a 60 Acre area for the SARTECH III
and over a wider area for the SARTECH II.
