Coming over here, taking our dogs jobs

15/01/08 - 0 comments

In a bizarre twist of roles, immigrant dogs are being brought in to the Police force, although it is the handlers that are being trained.

The £2000 German Alsations (would that make them German German Shepards?) are already trained in obedience and biting criminals, but they don't understand English commands.

One dog-handler from Derbyshire constabulary said: "If you say 'let go' in English, they just look at you like you are crazy."

A quarter of all police dogs in Derbyshire are German, and handlers have learnt commands including "sitz" (sit), "platz" (down), "aus" (let go), "holen" (fetch) and "bissen" (bite).
