Gerty,

That is very cool that you met an avalanche rescue dog. They are very smart. What kind of dog was he, and what kind of dogs do they use for avalanche rescue dogs?

Kristen, Thank you for asking, and for reading my journal!  Your question prompted me to do a bit of research on avalanche rescue dogs.  All kinds of dogs can be trained to rescue people in the snow.  Cody is a Belgian Shepherd.  There is a great educational video about rescue dogs on YouTube here so you can see some in action!
 
See you soon!
