TEXAS BLOODHOUND
EMERGENCY RESPONSE ASSOCIATION
I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said, here am I, Send Me! - Isaiah 6:8
Our Team.
In 2009 Founding Member GL Potts started the Texas Bloodhound Emergency Response Assn. As an Independent K9 Handler in the DFW area, a way was needing to be associated with the dog’s service. Over the years with multiple callouts for more than a dozen police agencies it has become time to start branching out as a state of Texas search and rescue resource. Below is a list of Handlers and Dogs that are associated with the group.

Adama's Relentless Reign
K9 Reign has grown into one of our best dogs ever. At 9 months of age, she had pasted her mantrialing certification with the United Stated Mantrialing Assn. Reign has more drive then almost any dog I have seen and I now as she as matured into a true manhunter she is a force to be reckon with. She has tracked down murder suspects as well as missing person, and is always eager to work.
Steve Cooper

A personal philosophy of his is, “to never stop being a student because there’s always something to learn.” His perfectionist personality directs him that giving 100% is never enough.
Sheriff's Relentless Pursuit
Sheriff is our newest dog to come to work for us. He brings high drive and a relentless effort to every work. We expect nothing but the best form him.

Lucky Sevens
This DJI Inspire 1 "Valkyrie" is a wonderful resource that not all responding agencies have access to. This particular UAS made history being the first unit to save a life when it flew a life line to a stranded person in a flood situation. Adding in its Thermal Camera and it provides superior coverage both day and night.
