Cattle theft is endemic in parts of South Africa. Around 177 thousand livestock (cattle, sheep and goats) are stolen annually, costing South African farmers around R182 million (Beeld Newspaper 28.05.15). A tracker dog can in many cases track where fence security had been breached, and may even track where stolen livestock had been taken to.

After a break-in/attempted break-in at a house, and/or small-time theft (of equipment, a sheep or chicken, for example) a tracker dog / anti-poaching dog K9 (Canine) may be able to lead you/the local area watch group to the criminal’s hideout, where, the stolen goods/animals may also be recovered.
