Well they are _ALL_ valuable dogs. But I agree, I stand in awe of those dogs. I've had the priviledge to work with a few - the bomb and drug dogs are sweet as can be, but never EVER forget for a second they are WORKING animals with a job. Now patrol dogs are a little scary - you DO NOT treat them like average Fido, one wrong move and you are pinned to the ground under a 100 lb german shephard!! Same with police dogs and such. Know your german, and move slowly and carefully. Ask me how I know Wonderful, intelligent, brave animals. JenB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hey Jen, Glad you put that out .. its a little known fact and most folks who own a dawg have never even considered having their teeth cleaned. Granted there are many things a dawg can do/eat to help his own teeth a bit but routine treatment is a must. The last 20 years of my military career was spent in the MPs .. and we always had dawgs and dawg handlers .. drug sniffers, bomb sniffers, patrol dawgs and the like. The largest kennel I ever had contained 27 dawgs .. in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. We had two full-time vets on assignment to take care of them .. and routine teeth cleaning was a part of that care. They were valuable dawgs. :-) Butch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi Butch, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, my brother spent 3 or 4 years there in the 70's. Wanted to go every year, but the kids were young, I could never find the extra time or money back then. He always said it would cost hardly anything, and I could see Hawaii like it really was.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Well Fiona is one heck of a valuble doggie too, so every week I brush her teeth with doggie tooth paste and I think she likes it. At least it does improve her breath LOL and she has the witest doggieteeth around :-D Fragrant Blessings, Ylva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
