Wallaby Gangalook Grizzly
SAR and Water Cadaver Dog
Whelped 11/20/99, Grizzly was the only red puppy in a litter of 5 by our youngest Aussie import male,
CH Quarrawil Little Duke HSAs and out of Wallaby Ms Tuckerbox Red. Grizzly was the largest male pup

ability as an SAR dog. He was one of the youngest dogs to be certified.
Over the years, Grizzly and Hans have been involved in many important searches including looking for
people lost in the snow and avalanches, searching for survivors when the former Olympic Ice Skating
