Thanks very much nekhbet! We are in the northern suburbs of perth, yanchep to be precise. A little out of the way of most things but I'm used to having to travel a bit to get anything out of the ordinary. We haven't purchased a pup yet, was wanting to do the ground work on training research 1st to make sure it could actually be done. Looking at maybe poodle... I'm allergic to most dogs We have a 10yr old westhighland terrier who is pretty much just interested In sleeping! I don't think it would be that hard if you had a scent detection experienced trainer, and a dog with the right temperament and willingness to learn. The dog part will be easy enough but finding someone who knows how to train it seems the hard part! Especially here in perth it seems, over east, no problem but unfortunately that's a long way away! If you know of anyone that would be great. Thanks

Oh really that sounds interesting! I know they use a swab from the inside of your mouth when low to acquire the scent but didn't really know where to go from there, I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do if you were a qualified trainer but I'm hitting brick walls with all my enquiries. Maybe I just need to try it myself, what breed would you recommend out of interest? Thanks

Thanks, I've actually just spoken to that lady, not a lot of help, they only train dogs of their choice, they reckon that the chance of getting a dog to have the right temperament, the willingness to learn and a bond with my son is slim to non. I actually feel quite dispondant now! May see if I can get hold of those other guys the 1st reply mentioned Thank u
