German Shepherds Needed for Police Work

Monday, January 17, 2005

Police in the town of Humberside, in Great Britain, are asking the public to donate their German Shepherds for police work. They are looking for dogs aged 10 months to 2 years. The dogs will be trained for police work and will reside with their handler and family.

According to Pc Derek Chafer, a dog instructor with Humberside Police:
"The biggest part of their work is searching; either property for criminals or missing people. They are also involved in public order, such as football matches, pop concerts, or town centres on Friday and Saturday nights. Anyone worried about their inexperienced dog being thrown in at the deep in end should have no worries."
I suppose its good for German Shepherds to get lots of training and spend their days on the job. It'll give them a lot of mental stimulation.

But I'm left wondering why the police have to ask the public to donate their dogs? Don't they have any German Shepherds wasting away at shelters and rescues? Great Britain has just as much of a problem with unwanted dogs as with the United States.

  • I have a 8month old male german shepherd, he is large for his age and needs more than i can give him, he is to strong for me to handle, pulling me of my feet at times, he has a good nature but wants to dominate not only me but also my family. Would you consider a dog from central scotland? or do you have any information or help regarding this?
