On the weekend of 19th – 20th March 2016, team member Steve Nelson and his Search Dog Boris successfully re-graded as a full Mountain Trailing Search Dog with the Search and Rescue Dog Association (Wales).

Boris has been qualified for four years now, and this latest assessment means that he will remain as a graded search dog for the following three years.

It’s taken a huge amount of commitment from Steve Nelson and team member Elaine Gilliland in training and operating Boris on callouts.

Congratulations Steve from all in Bolton MRT!
