Gideon came to us at 10 weeks of age. He started his SAR training at 11 weeks of age and was certified in Wilderness Air Scent in Klamath County Sheriff’s SAR K-9 Unit at the age of 14 months.  Gideon was a valuable part of Klamath County SAR K-9 Unit for several years before retiring (due to his handlers/partner  retirement from active duty).  While in SAR, Gideon hot-loaded on helicopters, rode on the Sheriffs water crafts, rappelled and worked/trained one to two times a week every week the entire time while in SAR. He worked wilderness air-scent, HRD, and building searches.

Gideon has an American Temperament Testing certification, a Lure Coursing certification and a Canine Good Citizen certification.   

He takes his job in the conformation ring very seriously where he has become the most winning Beauceron in AKC history.
