Search & Rescue Dogs

My name is Julia Kelsall. I work for South Central Ambulance Service as an Ambulance technician and I am currently studying for my degree in Paramedic Science.

I have always wanted to own a dog but due to the shifts I work and the fact I live in a flat I don't feel it would be possible, I love the outdoors and by joining Berkshire Search and Rescue Dogs it means I get all the enjoyment of a dog without the hassle!!

I joined the team in 2005 and I work as operational support. I am now the treasurer, which I love, however much I whinge, (think it's a control thing!!!) and I am also learning more about training. In the future I would like to become a qualified dog handler and assessor.

Very nice oh fat controller,( except you're not fat)!
But it's the only thing I could think that had controll in it!

Julia is also a very good paramedic when it comes to British Bulldogs, as we found out recently!
