Canine Demine
Charitable number: 866765423 RR0001

Did You Know...?

Dogs can sense odours at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can. They can
detect one drop of blood
in five quarts of water!


Mine detection dogs (MDD) can speed up the work of manual demining by about 10 times. If a manual deminer can clear 100 sq. metres per day, the addition of a MDD can increase the rate to 1,000 square metres per day. The safety of our canine partners is our primary concern. There has never been a Canadian-trained dog killed or injured in the field.

Canine Demine is a program that facilitates the training of ordinary German Shepherd dogs into extraordinary mine detection dogs. These incredible canine demining partners are remarkably adept at identifying the location of mines, without coming into direct contact with them. They smell the explosive charge.

There has never been a Canadian-trained dog killed or injured in the field.

There have been a number of different animals used for the detection of mines including rats and bees. Yet while there have been advantages, nothing has yet come close to the efficiency and effectiveness of dogs.

Mine Detection Dogs save lives.
