Skye is a Border Collie and Search & Rescue Dog with SARDA Wales. I have had her since she was 7 weeks old and have trained her specifically for Search & Rescue since I got her. I am a self employed Mountaineering Instructor and member of Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team and she often comes to work with me during the day. You can find links to the various teams and to expeditionguide.com below.

Training in Llanberis


This morning Skye and I joined Helen with her dog Cluanie for a couple of hours training. I have been easing Skye back into some short run outs after her operation. Yesterday we did half a dozen with the kids and today we did another half a dozen with Helen. Skye was very keen and worked well, giving a good indication each time she came back to me.

Skye is One!

I have been working in Scotland since New Years day so Skye has been at home with Kate and the boys. We decided to coincide this period with getting her Spayed so Kate took her to the vets on the 4th Jan. She gets her stitches out today, which is also her first birthday! I will be easing her back into training over the next week and will report back on progress! SARDA Wales were out this week on a search of avalanche debris on Snowdonia. Thats the first time that has happened for a few years and indicative of the massive amounts of snow we have had.
