Bonus episode of Dogs with Jobs!

In the course of researching this podcast, Kate Fairweather talks to a lot of people about working dogs. Here she talks to Jim Noble, who has spent a career devoted to working dogs - gun dogs, police dogs, sniffer dogs, search dogs. 

In the early 2000s the Hampshire Constabulary's Dog Unit (as it was then) invested in its first ever pair of bloodhounds, with a view to training them for missing persons cases, owing to their superior scent-tracking capabilities.

Jim recalls Lottie's first ever deployment and how she solved her first missing persons case in 2003. The sound's a bit crackly, as this was a telephone interview conducted during lockdown, but the story is gripping and his pride in a superb work partner comes across loud and clear. It was the first of dozens of searches that Lottie completed as a specialist search dog.

Do you work your dog? Get in touch with Kate at team@petersfieldradio.uk. Caring dogs, service dogs, sporting dogs – the more varied the better! She’s interested in them all and would love to hear from you.
