In all seriousness, rescue dogs (even mountain rescue dogs) and handlers come from all places in the country, and their skills are multi faceted. I have been on seminars, trained and trained with teams (a team is a dog and handler) from all over Europe, who search caves/rubble/or even abseil from helicopters in remote mountain passes across Europe.
The basic skills developed and employed by the teams are almost universal, the stamina fitness and experience of the teams of course varies by the locations they are required to work.
At 66 and overweight (me not the dog) we can't abseil out of a helicopter and traverse a trail across a mountainous ravine, we could however track and find someone who has fallen and lying out of site in several square miles of thick Surrey heathland gorse/bracken. And it's happened.
One of the best training course I went on was "Man Trailing". It instantly conjures up images of "cool hand Luke" "Rambo first blood" "the defiant ones". Never seen the dog so physically and mentally exhausted even over a shortish (less than two miles) track. We both got rather predatory and hung ho!
