Police dog training - New recruits...

Harry and Hermione are the youngest and newest recruits to Avon and Somerset Police Dog Section.

The Belgian Malinois puppies, who are brother and sister, joined the section at just seven weeks old in April 2008.

This breed of dog is very smart and obedient and the puppies will be trained to become fully operational police dogs, performing duties such as locating vulnerable missing persons, searching and detaining offenders of crime, and crowd control.

Pupils of Victoria Park Community in Bristol adopted the puppies and officially christened them Harry and Hermione after the Harry Potter characters.

You can track the progress of their development via their own dog blog which is updated on a monthly basis. Log onto www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/dogs to find out more.

Hope that the wil continue to use also the German Shepherd, because that's a great Police Dog!

My dream is to train the dog to attack only on command, without any signs of unnecesarry agression toward normal-behaving strangers.

An adult GSD of 33 kilos? An adult GSD male should weigh around 40 kilos and a female a few less, but not 33 kilos. You look for dog with high prey drive in sports and with high fight drive in policedogs. Also a BM more muscular than a GSD, what a laugh. But good luck anyway.
