Drogon is a two-year-old Belgian Malinois, who is a live find/air scenting K9. He was born in Illinois in 2020 and was 10 months old when the RCFD chose him up and brought him to Rapid City in August 2021.

Drogon trains 30 to 40 hours a month and has actually been dealing with obedience, bark alert, debris searches and developing searches.

His commands remain in German and he signals by barking, and he will quickly be licensed in wilderness and catastrophe searches.

Drogon deals with his handler, Jeremy Gibbons, a Firefighter/EMT with the RCFD and a member of South Dakota Job Force 1. Drogon concerns deal with Jeremy at Station House 7 when he is on shift and is at house on his day of rests, much like the other firemens.

As the 2nd licensed K9 for South Dakota and the RCFD, Drogon is taking control of for the very first licensed K9, Cisco, who needed to retire early due to stopping working health. When he is licensed, he will be a statewide emergency situation resource offered for call-out 24/7.
