Roxy is the World's first Pigmy Blue Tongue Lizard detection dog. Roxy is trained to locate the Lizard and burrows to assist the researchers in protecting this endangered species.
Roxy has completed the first stages of her training and has been conditioned to her work environment in South Australia.
Roxy was selected for this task as she is a very relaxed and calm dog that has absolutely no aggression towards any form of wildlife including Lizards. Roxy was the perfect dog with her calm searches and passive indications when she found a burrow. The show me command will have Roxy gently place her nose on the burrow to confirm the find.
Roxy has completed the testing and training faze at Multi National K9 and on location with Roxy's full time handler PHD Student Torben Nielsen. This important research project on the endangered Pigmy Blue tongue lizard is proudly run by South Australia's Flinders University in partnership with Nature Foundation SA.
Here is more information on the endangered pigmy blue tongue lizard
The Pigmy Blue Tongue Lizard was thought to be extinct until 1992 when the lizard was first rediscovered.
The lizard was recently featured in the David Attenborough documentary "Life in cold Blood."
Researchers have tried to maintain an annual absolute count of lizards occupying burrows in a monitored hectare at one site. In some years this has been supplemented by data from monitoring hectares in up to eight other populations to look for different trends in population dynamics.
However, a major impediment in the interpretation of this data is the lack of a consistent comparable survey technology that can be maintained across the years.
Pygmy bluetongue lizards live in spider burrows and the presence or absence of a lizard in a burrow can be easily determined by viewing down the burrow with an optic fibre scope.
The problem is that the chance of detecting a small burrow entrance at ground level, among the native grass cover, can vary substantially from season to season making it very difficult for observers to detect.
This makes absolute counts per hectare is difficult for the researchers. An additional problem in maintaining regular monitoring is the large amount of time required to detect occupied burrows.
In previous surveys, researchers have taken 4-5 days of intensive searching on hands and knees to locate the 800 or so burrows in a 1 ha site.
Volunteer observers may not have that degree of enthusiasm for the task and many burrows may be missed.
Increasingly around the world wild life researchers are employing trained environmental detection dogs to detect individual species or signs of their presence.
Roxy is the World's first dog trained to detect pygmy blue tongue lizards in burrows by scent, once the dog has been fully trained and its efficiency has been established. The reduced time, used to find the lizard burrows, will make many other projects run more effectively for researchers.
Roxy the Pigmy Blue tongue lizard detection dog now joins the growing list of environmental dogs trained by Gary Jackson of Multi National K9 which also include Koala and Quolls and the pest detection dogs trained to detect Red eared slider turtles, Cane toads, foxes and feral cats.
Together we can all play a part to help protect our fragile ecosystem and our endangered species.
