Sounds like a plan that works great for you and for the police! Wednesday night there's a show on about a lady who trains service dogs--should be interesting! I'm always amazed at how they train these animals to do different things!

I will have to watch the news tonight!!! :D:D:D
Looking forward to the pictures |
Wow how interesting! I'm a huge dog lover! Would love to watch them work!

Here are some of the pictures I took yesterday...not the best quality, wish Karla had been here with her camera! :) THEN you'd most likely see some great pictures, but these will give you an idea of what we got to watch! :)
FUN TIME!! [ATTACH=CONFIG]50302[/ATTACH] The handlers with the younger dogs chant "Find it!" over and over...the more experienced dogs only get told once. [ATTACH=CONFIG]51272[/ATTACH] This guy has a youngun...and he's VERY serious about this training...I don't think he liked us being there, but he didn't object either. His little girl is hitting on a sealed garbage bag with 10 pounds of marijuana, through a closed door. You can see the rolled up towel that he has behind his back, he's about to yell "WOOHOO!" and toss it for her! [ATTACH=CONFIG]51418[/ATTACH] This handler was really a nice guy, and very proud of his dog, one of the more experienced dogs in this rotation. They had 8 stations here in town, we were just one of them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]51466[/ATTACH] Same youngun, different station [ATTACH=CONFIG]54583[/ATTACH] This is a young dog, and just learning his trade. The experienced dogs are great to watch, but it's fun to see how they train them to begin with. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54653[/ATTACH] Just a few of the K-9 cars [ATTACH=CONFIG]55972[/ATTACH] Describing the "scene" to the handler [ATTACH=CONFIG]55973[/ATTACH] *SNIFF* He smells it... [ATTACH=CONFIG]55974[/ATTACH] |
Such beautiful dogs ! And they let you be down and among them :shock: WOW What an experience for you
Thanks for sharing |
I want pictures!! Are they German Shepherds? That is my sister's FAVORITE breed.
|
There are quite a mix of breeds that they use for these sniffers.
One officer had a pitbull/hound mix, one had a border collie, one had a border collie mix, there were labs of all colors, German shepards, but what we saw the most of were the Belgian Malinois...this page will tell you about them. :) http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/belgianmalinois.htm |
Oh, I know that breed. They are very pretty, and smart. I have seen many shows. I got very stuffy at an indoor show once. It was not until many years later that I found out I am allergic to Basset Hounds.

I enjoyed the pictures.

Charlee, thank you so much for taking the time to take the pics and post them. I sure did enjoy seeing all of them. I LOVE dogs! Seeing the working dogs is a special treat.
Thanks again!!! |
