The 5 Best Dog Breeds That Need a GPS or AirTag Tracker

The 5 Best Dog Breeds That Need a GPS or AirTag Tracker

Some Dogs Are Escape Artists — Here's What to Do About It

Certain dog breeds are notorious for bolting, wandering, and following their nose wherever it leads. If you own one of these breeds, an AirTag tracker on their collar isn't optional — it's essential.

1. Beagle

Beagles are scent hounds through and through. Once they catch an interesting smell, they'll follow it for kilometres without looking back. Their low-to-the-ground build means they can squeeze under fences too. An AirTag gives you real-time peace of mind when they inevitably disappear into the bush.

2. Siberian Husky

Huskies were bred to run — and run they will, given any opportunity. They're known escape artists who can jump fences, dig under them, or simply bolt through an open gate. A waterproof AirTag holder is a must for this breed, especially near beaches or rivers.

3. Labrador Retriever

Labs are friendly, curious, and easily distracted by other people, dogs, and food. They're one of Australia's most popular breeds and also one of the most commonly reported lost. Their social nature means they'll happily follow a stranger home.

4. Jack Russell Terrier

Don't let the small size fool you — Jack Russells are fast, fearless, and determined. They were bred to chase prey into burrows, so disappearing underground or through tiny gaps is second nature. A secure AirTag holder keeps tracking reliable even during their most chaotic adventures.

5. Border Collie

Border Collies are incredibly intelligent and need constant stimulation. When bored, they'll find their own entertainment — often involving escaping the yard. Their speed makes them hard to catch once they're gone, making an AirTag tracker invaluable.

The Right Tracker Setup for Active Breeds

For all of these breeds, you need a tracker holder that can keep up. The FETCH waterproof silicone AirTag holder is designed for active dogs — it's secure, low-profile, and works with any standard collar width. Available in 14 colours to match your dog's personality.
