About the Judge
Mr.
Gobardhan Chandra Pattanayak was an ardent dog lover and animal lover since his
child hood and it was quite natural for him to opt for working with animals as
a challenge in his career.
He
served the Orissa Police with distinction since 1975 and retired as Deputy
Supdt. of Police in 1995. During these twenty years of service he was
instrumental in building up the Orissa Police Detective Dog Squad from scratch
into one of the few outstanding squads of the country. His research on specific
tracker dogs (i.e. hilly trackers and ozone trackers etc.) put the canine
criminology in a new track. He was awarded the police officer’s inter-state
award (after his retirement on April 2004).
He is an Obedience
judge in the panel of judges of The Kennel Club of India, and also a judge in the
All India Police Duty Meet. He has trained under one of the all time Great Raja
Saheb Bhadri and got an opportunity to train under Mr. Elliot of K-9 Academy of
U.S.A. He took his sniffer dog training under Border Security Force, India. He
has trained up more than a thousand dogs and is a life member of the P.F.A.
India as well as the S.P.C.A. Orissa.
