A note from Jil’s desk…

DRUG DETECTION K-9 FOR SALE: If you know of an agency that is looking for a drug-detection canine, Chadoe is Idaho certified, AKC registered, male, Black Labrador Retriever. He is great with everyone and an extremely energetic 6 year old. He works great independently and also takes direction well. His current reward is a Kong but he would easily take a towel, tennis ball, or juke. I would say that he has the same ability or better in some areas as Bruno. If I had a choice of which dog to take to work with me, it would be Chadoe, I trust him 100%. Please have the agency call me if they are interested. Work 208-937-2447 Home 208-935-0988. Thanks, Damon Deter, Lewis CSO
