- •
Military dogs were studied during a simulated avalanche search mission (SASR).
- •
SASR induced moderate and temporary physiological and behavioural changes in dogs.
- •
Military dogs showed good adaptive capacity to additional potential stressors.
- •
Military dogs carried out high performance search tasks under extreme conditions.
- •
Findings suggested SASR did not compromise military dogs' welfare.
