ASA Deploys Raymond the Bloodhound

ASA was approached by the Gallmann foundation in 2021 and asked if we could assist with the supply and integration of a tracker dog to enhance their current security strategies. We are please to announce with the help of the Big Cat Sanctuary in April 2022 we were able to donate a seven month old Bloodhound named 'Raymond' to the conservancy. Following on from his arrival ASA Chief trainer Daryll Pleasants flew out to conduct tracker handler training which lasted ten days. The training visit was a great success with Raymond showing significant advances in his training and handlers understanding both the principles of handling and tracking. Further training visits are planned for this year and ASA is looking forward to seeing an operational tracker team assisting the conservancy in the near future
