Hi Dion,
I believe these trained dogs are mainly trained to track scent. My work
has used them for koalas before and there is a quoll dog available up here
too. But I don't know if any of the skins, even the recent ones, would
carry enough scent to train a dog. I would think Ground Parrot scent would
be too different to be useful, but I could be wrong.
Cheers,
Chris
