| Police Canine Consultants Karen, Owner 715-866-5240 October 2, 2002 To Whom It May Concem: This letter is being written as a letter of recommendation for Lori Peper-Rucks. I have known Lori for the last 12 years. She has been the personal canine trainer for our K9 "MaKea" and also a friend. As a police officer in the Polk and Burnett County areas, I have had the opportunity to work with Lori in a professional manner in training and also at the scene of search and rescue calls. She is very dependable, reliable and well organized. Lori has the expertise in the area of canine training and has trained some of the most incredible police, search and rescue and service dogs. I have observed these dogs and their handlers and have always been impressed with her professionalism and dedication to perfecting the handler/dog teams. Lori is hardworking and organized in every aspect of training. I've observed Lori treat each canine with compassion and care. Her dedication to accomplishing the goal of a working canine team is outstanding. I would recommend Lori Peper-Rucks as a leader and trainer for Police, Service, and Search and Rescue canine teams with no reservation.
