True but you have to go through SAR training to be a good handler and to have any creditiblity with search and rescue and law enforcement. It takes alot of personal time and your money to be a good canine handler

I personally train my own dogs rather then buy them
Cuppy is dead on right here!
It takes hours and hours of training. Well trained dogs from good bloodlines are not cheap, even to buy as puppies. Then the proper training begins, and it requires people who know how to properly train these puppies from the get go.
Then, training them to be excellent and reliable dogs, no matter whether they are being trained for search and rescue, tracking, or cadaver dogs, takes months and more months of training, then the testing and the trials. These dogs, properly trained and proved by testing, are worth thousands of dollars.
And, there is no profit to be made, just in case you are thinking this is a "get-rich-quick" notion. You would be better off buying lottery tickets.
The people who do this well love dogs, love training, and love to see them work. They do it for love, not money.
Listen to Cuppy, for you will find truth in what he/she says. I love and adore my Belgian Malinois, and know what they are capable of doing.
I sometimes feel guilty that I haven't trained them for LE work, for they are so talented that we have to spell certain words around them. But, they are our guardians, as we are elderly, and live in a rural area.
This might make no sense to some of you, but they are our first line of defense. We can count on them to keep the bad guys at bay until we load the rifle, if you get my drift.
Cuppy will understand.
