Hi David and List, What a great story. Brix is now seven years old and still loves to train on finding meteorites. Any dog with a high prey drive can find meteorites. I was reading a story about Conservation Dogs http://www.conservationdogs.com when the idea came up on K9's finding meteorites. These dogs can be trained to find almost anything. I was able to contact one of the trainers to ask for help training. Most of the trainers would not tell me how they were training the Conservation dogs. One of the trainers finally said they used the Cadaver dog handbook for starting the dogs on scent training. One of Brix's favorite games is to have me dig three different holes in my training pit. I then place his toy in the hole and cover it up. While I am hiding the toy Brix is placed on the side of the house out of view of the sand pit. Within seconds he easily detects the ball. Anything is possible with these dogs. Brix is great at finding Chondrites. I would like to teach him how to detect iron meteorites.
Brix has 3 beautiful Pure Bred German Shepherd puppies available for adoption. They are 11 weeks old and are AKC UKC registered. If anyone is interested I can put you in contact with the owner of the Female who has the pups. These dogs have potential to be excellent meteorite K9's as well as being full protection dogs and or service dogs.

A K9 police unit has been specifically trained to search for meteorites as part of an experiment to find the limits of canine detection possibilities. http://www.doogweb.es/2015/12/09/perros-detectores-de-meteoritos/ We have been part of these project and are amazed with the results. Proof test have been conducted with different meteorites and climatic conditions: Amazing, Kaly marks also meteorites he was not trained for. Meteorites that we bring as our particular test. A first field attemp in Villalbeto de la Peña was conducted without result (cerfifying there is no one more? as we have visited the area dozens of times without success) Now we only need a new fall. Sorry, Bingol would not work, Kaly is trained to search Chondrites. Great notice for Brix and Hopper: Kaly is a female!
