[quote1327634760=LeeRobinson] I have had police officers and trainers evaluate my dogs off my property...in town...strange settings...informal impromptu evaluations to see if the dogs met their needs or expectations. In every case, they have been more than satisfied and come to think of it...in every case such tests actually led to the sale of at least one or more dogs to be used by these officers not as patrol dogs, but for PP for their home and family. [/quote1327634760] Lee, this is not a trick question, I am just genuinely curious if these police officers were actual K9 officers experienced in PP training or rather officers that one could consider novices when it comes to PP dogs and training? I am just wondering why experienced K9 officers (in case they were) would favor anything but proven police K9s. I will trust your honest reply on this - no references or videos necessary.
