What's new?
PACKLEADER's 2008 season has found us working on a number of new species. I know it's only September, but we are already in the planning stages for 2009 -- with some exciting projects already in the planning stages. Be sure to contact us soon to get your project on the schedule.
During 2006 we added bats to the list of species located - this involved identifying both live individuals and guano. In 2008 we are adding some new applications and species. It's been a very exciting year for PACKLEADER, our clients and the dogs!! The dogs remain ready and anxious to get back in the field.
Bruiser left for Belize with Claudia in January and returned the end of August. Last report Bru is found lots of scats and and both he and Claudia did well during their extended project season.
