Brodee is a male Labrador Retriever that enjoys working hard and playing hard. Brodee was procured by the USDA National Detector Dog Training Center in Newnan, GA from Pacific Coast K9 in Custer, WA. Brodee was a year and a half old when he was partnered with his handler, Kaitlyn DeMott. Brodee and his handler, Kaitlyn, graduated from the USDA National Detector Dog Training Center in May 2022. The team was deployed to Fresno County, California where they inspect parcel and postal facilities for incoming fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural material.
Brodee is very outgoing and loves making friends with any people (or dogs) that cross his path. Brodee's absolute favorite activity is swimming and is his favorite way to relax after a good day of work. Brodee also loves to travel to see his fellow dog-co-workers in other counties.
