So they can live....

CASDDA believes that a competent Search Dog can only be certified by specifically trained judges, specialists in the field of K-9 Search and Rescue, under strict objective judging and a recognized Standard. 

​

All CASDDA dogs are certified under the IRO Standard, a unified international standard ratified by the FCI and recognized by the United Nations.  

​

Our Dogs and their Handlers are tested under strict objective evaluation by trained and certified international judges who are specialists in the field of K-9 Search and Rescue, sent to us from all over the world. 

​

The test contains two components:  a search component and an obedience/dexterity component.  To be successful, both components must be passed. 

​

Successful Dog Teams (The Handler and his/her K-9 Partner) are Internationally certified.

 

The certification of a Search Dog under the IRO Standard has been adopted as the National Standard by 78 countries and is recognized worldwide.
