Illustrated SAR Test 14: Hunt for Food II (Food Search)

Search & Rescue Test, page 14

Hunt for Food II Testers hid treats in various places – high, low, in cracks and under objects.  They visit, move away, walk around and generally provide distractions to see how intent the pup will be on using its nose.  The pups had to use their noses to find where the treats were. They were judged on how they how they used their noses and how systematic their searching was.
