Clay Givens with Mariah & Heidi


Mariah on a track

New to search dog handling in 2004, Clay originally joined ASD to work with his German Shepherd dog Mariah under the guidance and experience of the seasoned veterans of the team. Since then, he's started training his other female German Shepherd, Heidi, who is half sister to Mariah. They share the same sire. Clay's interest in search dog handling comes from his love of the outdoors, and his desire to give something meaningful to society.
