Joe Braman’s Texas Hounds Help K-9 Unit Win Prestigious Kudu Award in South Africa

Congratulations to the Southern African Wildlife College’s K-9 Unit in being awarded the prestigious Kudu Award last week. In 2018, the K-9 Unit added 20 free-running pack hounds, trained by Joe Braman in Refugio, Texas and sent to South Africa specifically to help aid in tracking and apprehension of rhino poachers.
