Lindy (as in Lindy Hop because she’s so bouncy) is mix girl, we think maybe with pointer or even some sort of sighthound. Whatever Lindy is mixed with, it’s an active dog, because Lindy is all about running and playing and jumping and wrestling all day long!
Lindy was adopted in 2023 by a handler who trained her in search and rescue but returned her because her dog and Lindy were getting into fights plus Lindy had a rear leg injury.
We’ve had Lindy back now for several months. She is a VERY high drive dog for search and hunt, and is nearly fully trained for some sort of cadaver training; we’re not SAR-lingo proficient but we were told she’s just a couple of tests shy of becoming “certified” in Search and Rescue/ Human Remain Detection.
Lindy is now fully healed up, released from the vet, she’s gone back to her original trainer to evaluate, and she’s got no issues that we can see.
We’d love to get her back to work, since that is what SHE loves. She’s a fantastic dog, and while her leg bothers her if she overexerts herself, it never slows her down. She’s fearless and driven, climbs on everything and anything, and when in the house, crates beautifully and is extremely loving and sweet. If another dog in our (very busy) house puffs up to her, she’ll stand her ground but she’s not starting fights or causing ruckus. In fact, she’ll crate herself if there is too much hubbub going on. She LOVES climbing rubble and swimming and toys and balls and fetch and nosework…She is an exuberant girl, and is built for action – she is lean and muscled, even if she is a bit of a bull in a china shop.
Lindy was reevaluated at a training seminar several weeks ago and her trainer handler took some video (below).
Any handlers looking for a pretty turn-key middle age pup to do SAR stuff with?
