Canine Demine

Did You Know...?

Dogs can sense odours at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can. They can detect one drop of blood in five quarts of water!


Canine Demine has now sponsored the training and work of 17 mine detection dogs (MDD). Our canine partners and their handlers are all currently working in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in Afghanistan. There has never been a Canadian-trained dog killed or injured in the field.

View the MDD training section of Three Interviews in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Youtube.

Mine detection dogs (MDD) can speed up the work of manual demining by about 10 times. If a manual deminer can clear 100 sq. metres per day, the addition of a MDD can increase the rate to 1,000 square metres per day.

These incredible canine demining partners are remarkably adept at identifying the location of mines, without coming into direct contact with them. They smell the explosive charge.

 

Mine Detection Dogs save lives.
