I'm pretty sure the dogs still operate in the city, i know a lady that has a dog that is used for tracking/searching. She even came to work once wearing the SES uniform this was however a year ago.

ok confirmed it today with someone who's working to get their dog qualified. Currently there are no qualified dogs for tracking or land search as you may call it. Rockingham does however have 1 or 2 USAR dogs which can go over the rubble pile. Yes they used to have a dog, as Stirling used to have 4, but they changed the rules and so none were qualified, then some people left because it became too hard.
