Idaho Fish and Game Panhandle Region’s first K-9 Officer, Hudson, is retiring after working alongside his K-9 handler, Senior Conservation Officer Matt Haag for nearly 10 years. Hudson is a yellow Labrador retriever.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve Fish and Game and the people of Idaho as part of the K-9 team. I’d like to thank the Idaho Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Bonner County Sportsmen’s Association for donating and raising funds that support our K-9 program statewide,” said Officer Haag.

Hudson first came to Fish and Game as a young, exuberant pup Dec. 5, 2015. After adjusting to his new life with the Haag family, Officer Haag and Hudson traveled to Indiana where they completed the Natural Resources K-9 training program from January to May 2016.
