You can do trailing for fun without problems but you should also know it is extremely time consuming - and no titel in the end, just the fun of it.
Of course Michael, I didn't express well. I was assuming all SAR dogs do trailing as sport. My bad. But I'm interested in the community work, I would be very happy to contribute to something with her so I thought of SAR.
The trainer has been testing her will to all kind of sports/work... it's obvious defence and super-obedience is not her thing. She has fun doing things related to Agility and Trailing so... let's wait and see (she is still young).

In my country there's no endurance competitions (SVP).
