Exclusive Services
We provide certain services with our working Dogo Argentinos, when available. Time and distance may render some of these services impractical under certain situations.
Well planned and booked services however, will always be available. Should a particular time slot not be available, please feel free to discuss with us for all possible alternatives.
Anti Poaching/Tracking

When available and within reach, we can track:
- burglars/farm attackers
- poachers
- wounded/lost game
- stolen/lost livestock
In the case of poachers or any other foot incursions, both hot and cold pursuits are possible depending on circumstances and operational choices. Both infiltration and exfiltration routes, observation points etc. can be mapped.
In the case of wounded game, darted and lost game, or the pursuit of animals intended for rehabilitation, can be assisted with.
Standard fee of R500 will be charged.
Travelling @ R9,00/km.
Full day tracking/mapiing routes R3 000
Should no tracks be found, or we cannot follow existing tracks, only standard fee and travel cost will apply.
Patrols

Patrols with scheduled intervals can be arranged.
These patrols can either be done on horseback with K9 partner, or it can be foot patrols.
Patrols with visible K9's have been shown to have a positive effect on the decline of unlawful incursions into property. These patrols can be added from time to time to already existing security patrols.

Subjects such as Dogo Argentino history, working dog skills, equipment, hoot start training your dog and many more subjects are covered depending on the need and skill level of each individual.

Area Sweeps

With the reintroduction of wildlife into an area, whether they are just being reintroduced or whether it is rehabilitated animals, an area sweep can confirm the following:
- presence of the species in the area (important for dominant species being reintroduced or rehabilitated)
- snare sweep to prevent losses after release
- fence and area patrols to establish whether poaching activity is present
Light - this is a fence line sweep and a very quick recce through the area
Block - fence line sweep + a block recce of the area
- block sizes can be variable and depending on terrain and total size of the area to be covered
Grid - fence line sweep + a planned intersected grid sweep, giving the most overlapping coverage and detail
- terrain dépendant (thicker vegetation, riverbrush, streambeds, koppies etc. may require a smaller grid pattern for decent coverage)
Establishment cost - R500
Sweep/km travelled - R150
