Why don't police and military dogs do half time shows anymore?

I would rather watch an Alsatian jump through a hoop of fire and maul a bloke in a padded suit than a bunch of spray tanned teenage girls dancing.

This year at Crufts is the first time in a long time we have an actual dog demo team. With Afghan finished there is a lot of people about so they have started doing demos again. One of our guys will be doing a display this weekend where his dog is released and jumps over a car to bite one criminal then the second is in the passenger seat runs and she jumps through the car and nails the second crim. Amazing stuff, but no idea I suppose the cheer leaders are more appropriate to sports.

I know I'm going to be in a minority, but I really don't approve of punishing criminals in this way.

Lock them up by all means or even make them watch dog display teams, but letting the dogs take bites out of them is barely a step above the way the Romans treated the Christians.

No wonder there are demonstrations about this sort of thing.

It is very rare that a live bite happens in this country. You have to have a real reason to release your dog. Like when firing a weapon we have a set of rules as our dogs are also classed as weapons. The dogs we use are trained mainly to bite the arm to cause the minimal amount of harm to the person. But enough to stop them in their tracks. You wouldn't release a dog for something small it has to be pretty serious like being shot at or seeing someone planting an IED.

The dogs used in afghan are completely different and some of them have been used to kill. The first ever bite I took off a dog in training was an ex special forces dog who had 3 confirmed kills. The last one was of it dragging out an afghan terrorist by his head. I'm not 100% on the truth of the stories but I know SF dogs are pretty nasty!
