DFD7 Team— K9 Maggie and John

Meet Maggie & John. Maggie is a 3 year old German Shepherd that loves tracking and obedience work.

Two of Maggie’s grandparents were search and rescue dogs and many of her kinfolk are police dogs and work in other capacities; so as Hank Jr. might sing, she is simply following a family tradition.

We knew Maggie was destined to look for lost pets when she found her neighbor “Snoopy,” a Beagle who had run away from home. Within 30 minutes Maggie took us to the back yard of the person who had found Snoopy and he was reunited with his family.

John has owned and trained Germans Shepherds most of his life and enjoys working with dogs. Maggie has her AKC CGC and her Schutzhund BH. She continues to train at Arrowwood Shepherds.

DFD8 Team— K9 Ghotti and Chip

Meet Ghotti and Chip. Ghotti is a 3 year old Anatolian Shepherd.

The Anatolian Shepherd breed is from Turkey. Anatolians are natural born trackers because they have to follow scents of animals that have wandered off.

The Anatolian has a low prey drive. This makes them ideal for tracking small missing pets. Ghotti is a gentle dog. She is currently going for her AKC Championship Confirmation for her breed.

Chip has many years of experience in training dogs both for obedience and working with unwanted behaviors. His strengths also are in the ability to track animals on his own without the use of a dog. The combination of Ghotti and Chip is excellent for finding any type of missing pet under any circumstance.
