I wanted to see what breeds are being used currently. I saw by the other thread that a lot of GSD and Mali are being used, but what else? We are actually looking at several "different" breeds to use for search and\or bite, and thought I'd see if anyone here is already possibly using them. Thanks!

I was looking to see if any agencies were using Heelers, or Heeler/Border Collie mixes. The USDA and private trainers have found these to be great scent dogs, compact enough to get into every crevice, longer working in the heat and not as prone to health problems as most large breeds. I heard that an agency here in Florida was using a Heeler and I was hoping they would post.

Therefore any good I can do let me do it now,
