Police dog take down!

Off Topic
  • OMG at the speed and athleticism of thsi dog!

  • It looks like a Belgian Malinois. A lot of security companies are using them instead of Sheperds now. They are smaller, more compact, and even though they are about 40 to 60 Lbs, they can take down much bigger than them. When I was training with a gentleman, a certain police office (220lbs 6' 4") laughed and said the Malinois could never take him down. We sent him out in the arm, and he was stunned at the impact these dogs could have. He was on the ground in a matter of seconds. They instinctively know where to hit you.

  • Amazing. The training and trust that dog must have in his handler to run straight into gun fire….truly amazing.

  • That is amazing! And not only was he powerful enough to knock the guy over, he didn't let go!

  • there's a saying - Malinois, faster than a speeding shepherd.

    i love that first little bit with the mali dragging the guy out of the van.

    But I've found them to be very loving, especially with my basenjis and really no home should be without one. ;)

  • As a retired peace officer, that dog makes me proud!!!
    Love to see a fellow officer in action.

  • That's pretty amazing!

    My ex-boyfriend's mom had a Malinois. It's a beautiful breed. They are very athletic & obedient. Two things always needed in good police K-9s :)

    Those pics are great. They all look so humiliated! I love the bunny one though. That dog reminds me of the kid from "A Christmas Story". They both look like they have about the same feeling about their bunny outfit!

    I saw this show for the first time last night. I didn't think it was sad, because the nice doggy gets adopted into a home where the people have been evaluated and dog is placed with people who are best suited for the individual dog. It's like a reality game and they all know only one home gets the dog. The people know they might not get that dog. But I'm glad that the people who don't win on the show, will probably adopt and rescue another well deserving dog. Just my take . . . but I only saw the one show.
