RUFF work Ski Patrol / Avalanche Search and Rescue Dog Teams -- '98 - '99 Season
This is by no means a complete list of the links available -- but almost any site has a SAR links component and the lists will contain duplicated and interrelated entries so you should be able to go whever I've been and beyond -- this will definitely get you started. If you find anything that you think will benefit others, email me and I'll include it. doconnor@burgoyne.com Or if it is something you think is worth discussing and getting input from other handlers, you can take it to our/your forum [ below ] and start a discussion.
