The annual event was held in the Blackwater State Forest. Teams competed in one day and one night event, on tracks that are 1.5 miles long and two hours old. A combined average time was used to determine the winner. Single leash and multi-leash dog teams competed. Multiple tracks were laid for each day’s sessions, and the teams draw numbers for which track they would compete. Teams had an hour and a half to complete the course, collecting up to four flags along the way. Each flag collected removed one minute from the final time, and each flag missed added one minute.

If any of my family was lost, I would love for any of these teams to find them. It’s just a matter of time. Time is of the essence but guaranteed they will be found as long as somebody else hasn’t tainted the track. My hats off to all these guys and their K9s. The training they put it pays off for the public. I as a.mother of a handicapped child that doesn’t speak, it has always been a fear that he would get lost. After working with these guys and K9’s and watching them in action, we are blessed to have them.
Thanks Chad…I checked with Escambia County (which provided the info) and you are right. The article has been corrected.
