Presenter and Canine Field Specialist, Paige Smith, has been with WD4C for almost a year now. In her time she has worked on multiple projects including black-footed ferret and kit fox out in the field. Outside of field work and detection training, Paige has an interest in canine fitness and olfactory research. During her time away from the field, Paige works on various research projects at the WD4C facility to enhance understanding of how canines can aid in conservation initiatives.
Special guest Riggs is a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois who has been training with WD4C for a few months now. Riggs had two homes before landing his final home with Canine Field Specialist Paige. Paige started training Riggs for a future in detection when he was around 1.5 years old and he is showing promise within the field! Riggs is currently training for a career in kit fox as well as other future projects. He is fun, friendly, fast, and eager to learn more. Riggs also loves to participate in various other sports but, most of all, he enjoys getting pets from everyone he meets!
