Odin

Rodent Detection Dog.

In March 2016 Wildlife Protection Services' rodent dog, Chase, had three puppies. Sired by a mustelid detection dog, the pups had a good set of predator dog genes to start them off!

There were two males and one female. All three looked remarkably identical to their parents. 

Before they were born, all three of them had already been allocated to handlers. One would become a Wildlife Protection Services' dog, the other two would go to two different owners from the north island. A contracting handler and also a Department of Conservation dog handler. 

He has since worked on many off-shore islands after being fully certified in 2018. Including the Chatham Islands, Campbell island, Motutapu/Rangitoto, Anchor and Secretary islands, all the islands in the Marlborough Sounds, Kapiti island and many more...
