Join Jennifer Hartman, director of Rogue Detection Teams, to talk about using rescue dogs in scientific work to locate and analyze threatened animal species. We cover dog selection and training (though the dog bounders are often learning as much from the dogs), the physical requirements of the work, what can be learned now through DNA analysis of animal scat, the benefits of using dogs in a non-invasive way, and the challenges posed by long solo trips into rugged wilderness. Specifically, we talk about the project in the Eastern Sierra to learn about the elusive Sierra Nevada red fox, and the lone Nevada individual who traveled from the Great Basin join his buddies in the Eastern Sierra. I loved this interview, and I think you will too.More about Rogue Dogs:https://roguedogs.org/https://www.facebook.com/roguedogs/https://www.instagram.com/roguedetectionteams/https://twitter.com/roguedetectionhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCij7s9rwMGma9GS_rp3rbZw?view_as=subscriberContact Jennifer at [email protected]?
