Our Certifications
Great Basin K-9 Search and Rescue certifies our teams to testing requirements which meet national Search and Rescue K9 industry standards. We are also a proud member of Tri-State-K9, an association of search dog teams from across the Intermountain West which has established a rigorous set of standards which meet the specific needs of our vast wilderness and extreme mountainous search areas.
