Why German Shepherds
All dogs possess superior scenting capabilities, but ARDA utilizes
the German Shepherd because it has a combination of physical and
behavioral characteristics which makes it well suited for the
broadest range of disaster and search scenarios. Originally used for herding sheep, the German Shepherd has a
high degree of physical endurance, intelligence, and trainability.
Its double coat, which consists of harsh outer guard hairs and
a downy undercoat, provides insulation and protection against
cold and hot temperatures, rain and snow, and heavy brush. Search dogs must successfully pass basic obedience training and
temperament tests. A stable, friendly temperament is essential
in the search dog and is reinforced through heavy socialization
with humans and other dogs. SARDOM's dogs are not only working
dogs; they are family pets.
