of Copper and Patterson
were put to the test on a
number of scent trails includ-
ing shopping malls, parking
garages, and swampy and
woodland areas.
The team may have had
only a car seat, empty soda
can or chip bag, cigarette
butt, or door handle as a
scent source to work the
trail.
Being certified allows
Copper9s work product to
be admissible in court or
other legal proceedings.
Prior to his being fully cre-
dentialed, Copper had his
first start-to-finish <find=
about three months back
when he located a <walk
away= 4 generally a per-
son who disappears of their
own volition, not wishing to
be found, or somebody with
diminished mental capacity
as in a case of dementia.
Copper9s job is limited
to finding people, everyone
from lost hikers to escapees,
missing children to older cit-
izens confused by their sur-
roundings. One would think
that with a bloodhound9s
extraordinary sense of smell
that they9d be the first line
for illicit drug detection.
Not so. There are five other
K-9 teams in the DCSO, two
of whom, different breeds,
are dedicated to narcotic
offenses. Dogs and handlers
are highly specialized per-
forming complex tasks.
It is said that dogs have
up to 75 times the sense of
smell that humans do, which
does beg the question of
what it must be like when
they encounter a skunk or
rotting fish.
Copper9s life began at
Tamaron Ranch Bloodhound
Kennels in Chowchilla,
California. The all-tan-col-
ored, purebred Copper is a
donation to DCSO by Bob
Cameron, a county resident
who has a lengthy history of
working with bloodhounds
in the law-enforcement
world. Cameron is himself
a highly experienced trainer.

Patterson9s bed.
<Yes, and he takes up a
lot of room,= Patterson says
with an infectious grin.
The Donny/Copper team
work four 10-hour shifts,
which is a lot of car time.

Patterson is just like all the
Sisters deputies who cover
a large territory through
the gamut of policing
duties.
Patterson admitted that
Copper hates the car, even
though it is a full-size SUV
with specialized venting.
There is a built-in, high-tech
cooling system in Copper9s
pad with an alarm system
to warn Patterson remotely
if the temperature reaches
a point of concern for
Copper9s well-being.
Copper9s favorite thing to
do is search and rescue. He
has participated in several 4
all successful. As a general
rule, citizens are discouraged
from interacting with work-
ing K-9 dogs. However, in
Copper9s case, the public is
encouraged to engage him
when they encounter him.
But ask first, as he may be
working a scent. Patterson
frequently does foot patrol
in town, both as part of
good community policing
practice and giving Copper
a chance to stretch his
legs.
