Skills: Mica is a tracker. Sorting out a track, whether bear, human or whatever his handler asks him to find, is what he loves to do most. A good barker, Mica did well with bears in his first year and has begun to "shepherd" other species for his Conservation Officer partner. Mica, his brother Kuma, and their handlers have formed the first ever Officer -KBD team in Canada.

Education Level: Because of his partnership with a Conservation Officer, Mica is working on a individually tailored training program to insure that his obedience, tracking and detection skills will make him as versatile as possible in meeting his job demands. He has done great job so far, accomplishing everything asked of him.

Personality: Mica is serious, independent and totally focused when he's on the job. His good nature makes him effective in his public education role and he and his brother have become local celebrities. He loves people, and when at home is always part of whatever may be happening. He is especially fond of the lady of the house, as he has figured out she controls all the good things to eat, and always makes a fuss over him when he has had a long day.
