Ace,
Have you read any of the articles posted recently regarding the capture of Bin Laden? The spec ops dogs have gotten a lot of coverage.

I read a few I came across but hearing from someone who knows what they are seeing and been a part of it is always better.

Ace,
It's not the kind of thing I would discuss on a public forum. I will say that their control, tactics and training are really impressive. The dogs are in incredible shape as the handlers are. I am going to see one of their dogs that was retired then donated to a PD tomorrow. The handler transferred to a different unit and they offered the dog to a neighboring city. I can't wait to work the dog. I think the dog is 6 years old and has had numerous deployments over the past 4 years or so.

Understandable. Let us know how it went.

What happens to these dogs if a PD cant take them? PTS?
I am sure they dont get adopted out to civilians.

Ace,

In my area, there is a military vet and his wife that have a farm where retired military dogs go to live a peaceful life if they are not able to be adopted by civilian families. : )

Was it true that it was a Mal they used? Cairo?

by Slamdunc on 17 May 2011 - 18:05

More than likely a Mali.

I would rather it not have been a GSD

I would perfer even more that they would not say at all the breed of the dog used.

I say that in hopes of not messing the breed more than they already are.

I would say it was a mal also but I just couldnt imagine that they would let any information out on this dog.

It was a mali named Cairo--read the last paragraph of this article that was just released: http://www.dvidshub.net/news/71260/front-lines-with-mans-best-friend.
