Are you looking to purchase a dog or train a dog??
Purchasing a S&R dog is expensive, anywhere from 6 to 8 thousand dollars!!
Training isn't all that difficult, it's just time consuming. I've trained my 2 y.o. chocolate lab for search (every type I could think of, esp. human tracking) and some rescue (such as recovery from a lake).
My latest goal is to work with her on deer blood tracking. But since she knows tracking already I don't think it will be that difficult...so far she'll track any scent I put in front of her EXCEPT tire tracks
