Oscar the World’s first Koala detection dog has had a busy and enjoyable few years. Before Oscar started his training program to be a Koala detection dog Oscar and handler Jim Shields were employed as Australia’s first airport wildlife dog at Merimbula airport since 2008.
Oscars job was to clear the runway of wildlife ranging from ducks, birds and even kangaroos until a fence was built to keep the larger animals out.
It is a big change for Oscar now totally focused on Koala detection and totally disregards other native wildlife.
Oscars first job as the airport runway dog really helped with his future training.
