Here in South Florida a German Shepherd is learning to sniff out Chinese Drywall. Snoop will be one of the first dogs in the country certified to find Mold and Chinese Drywall in Homes.
This K9 Detective is being trained by Bill Whitstine of the Florida Canine Academy for All American Plumbing and Construction of Fort Myers, FL.
This is not the first time a dog trained by Bill has received attention. His Mold Dogs have been featured on CNN, Newsweek, HGTV and Extreme Home Makeover.
