Always faithful

Kim Parkman of Pocataligo Kennels was featured in the November GunDog Magazine for her work training bomb-sniffing dogs that are deployed overseas in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.

She trains field-bred labs for bomb certification. The labs are trained to respond to hand and whistle signals from afar, thereby protecting the serviceman sometimes with their very lives.

Kim's work contributed greatly to Larsen's success in the field, and she has turned some of her attention to this higher calling.

I'll link to the article when it becomes available on the GunDog website.
