Pauline Blomfield

Pauline has owned and trained dogs for over 40 years. She taught advanced dog obedience for 20 years and was awarded life membership for her work. She is a strong dog safety advocate and has published 3 children’s dog safety books. Pauline has a special interest in canine genetics and behaviour. She has trained in canine scent work and has been involved in canine therapy in rest homes, hospitals and hospice. Pauline is also the winner of the prestigious Otago Hall of Fame Innovation award.

Pauline’s understanding of the incredible sensory abilities of canines, and knowing that New Zealand has one of the highest rates of cancer in the world led to her creating K9 Medical Detection New Zealand Charitable Trust. Her mission is to create a simple diagnostic urine test as a value added tool in the fight against cancer.  Pauline has brought together a full specialist clinical support team.
