Stoney871 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I get it first hand all the time. Amazing how many drunks like to try to pat 45lbs of snarling Malinois. Definitely not recommended unless I invite them to. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 She's 5 now, I initially got her to socialise and she bonded so tightly to me I kept her on. I was armed response at the time and she was the main reason I transferred to dogs. Also got a dual search Springer, he's manic whereas she's laid back. I also have a Collie that was trained for drug searching but he's just a pet now because his temperament wasnt right and he just wanted to fight other dogs. He's great though as he takes no crap and wants to search every person he sees. It's funny when he sits down in front of the local scrotes, they suddenly start acting all shifty.

Brigante Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Fair play mate I've always been a dog person too. Been funny like when I've been to someones house for the first time who's actually had an ex police German shepherd and they've asked if I'm alright with dogs before I'm about to go in, then before I've even got through the front door it's up at me face lickin me. Then they had another dog as well think it was a little mastiff or summin and that was at my feet belly up wanting a tickle when apparently both dogs was usually right funny with strangers. Must be so funny watching your collie plonk its bum in front of all the little chavs blatantly with a bag of weed in they're pocket :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgy-alan Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Many years ago I was a dog handler in London working for a securtiy firm. We had 3 german Sheperds. One was a white female, she looked gorgeous and loved everyone. Totally useless as a guard dog as if she caught someone sh'ed more likely lick 'em to death. the two male dogs seemed to love her too and she happily produced a litter of new guard dogs every year ! the two male dogs were Shane and Sammy. Shane was very efficient and no-one messed with him. He was very protective of the team and didnt miss a trick. The last one was Sammy, He was a big imposing looking animal and again he would protect his handlers in every possible way. One night I was parked up at Lancaster Gate near Marble Arch and one of the local "Toms" (Hookers to the unniniated) wandered up to the van, She asked If I fancied some "Business". I said that I'd be interested but I think my partner may object! She asked what partner and went to look deeper into the van, big mistake, Sammy suddenly shot forward from behind me and his jaws snapped shut an inch from her face ! She backed out screaming and literally peed herself where she stood ! Ive never seen anyone run so fast in high heels! Sammy had a nother party trick which made him look really cool. We had Fiesta Patrol vans and a lot of our work involved patrolling the big carparks around the West End of London. What Sammy used to do was sit on the roof of the van as we chugged around the car parks numerous nooks and crannies. If he spotted anything supicious he was off like a shot leaving his handler to run after him ! He seemed to hate the well heeled for some reason and whenever he decided to !Removed! his leg you could guarantee it would be against a very expensive upmarket car ! He was everyones favourite partner and it was always a pleasure to work with him. Our dogs were unusual inasmuch they never actuall had one partner nor went home with anyone, There were 9 moblie guards in the company and the dogs were trained to work with any one of us. We never had any problems and It all seemed to work well. Eventually I had to leave the company though as they moved to an office in Kent well away from where I lived and I was not prepared to travel the distance involved.

Stoney871 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 You can't beat a dog for affection and companionship. Loyal to the end. That's why I love my job, I get to work with my best friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgy-alan Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thats what I thought too Stoney, they really are good companions, Hopeless at reading a map though when you need to get somewhere in a hurry, and even worse at diving into a takeaway for a couple of coffees when you're on a night patrol! But I loved the feeling of security you get when you're patrolling some of the dark and dingy corners of London or the big trading estates.

Stoney871 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nobody gets past my dog without my say so. I had a drunk try to pay me on the back once and the dog launched herself. Good job I grabbed her harness or he'd have a stump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
