I also know that Belgian Malinois are in service as epilepsy warning dogs.

That's some good work you all do. Something I've wondered for a while is if animals are able to feel pride for the work they do and in their service. Do you think they do?

@@actualteddybear891 I don’t think they can feel what we consider pride for service, but they can surely take pride in being praised/rewarded for doing work. Work is like play to many of them.

@@A22A8 If they're happy then that's good.

Hey, Do you think for male and female dogs for this program they are typically not neutered/spayed as it relates to the personality and energy drive for working that's required of the dogs? I noticed at least 2 male dogs were intact.

Completely genuine question for you, no disrespect whatsoever, but I've been volunteering with shelters for 15 years or so and the sheer number of young GSD that are euthanized every day is mind blowing. Are rescues ever used for these military jobs? The majority of them are surrendered because people buy them as pups and expect them to be couch potatoes, when in reality they have that strong drive to work and please. Just something I've been curious about for a while now. 🐕‍🦺🐾

Prey drive is assessed very early on and begins before birth in working dog breeding programs. Natural behavior’s are reinforced throughout their career but explains why breeds are specifically used for certain work.

@@2K9s I mean, I trained mine to protect my mom, and care for her. His prey drive is more of a THIS IS MY TERRITORY, and GIMME CUDDLES. I think he’s lost his marbles though because he only seems to go after people And other dogs, specifically if they’re being hostile to my family. My parents have caught him chasing burglars just for shits and giggles. He could’ve caught up, but no he liked barking with his muzzle pretty much on this guy’s back. Also he had killed a MASSIVE English Bull mastiff because it was running at my mom. On our property mind you. So…. They’re a strange breed where, prey drive isn’t as important as mental stimulation is my dude. Which is what makes them such a good working dog

@@oblivion1751 those are bizarre stories. I’m sorry but you’re confusing territorial aggressiveness and protectiveness or obsessiveness. Motivation and prey drive (which is also called ball drive) is a foundational requirement during assessments. Mental stimulation comes from them figuring out how to obtain a reward, or ball for example, during specific tasks which is satisfying and extremely important. There’re no strange breed’s, but there are strange owners. I could lead you in a direction that explains a few things but what would I know, right?

whats it with this K9 instead of Dog. Its not like Dog is such a long word.

@@kamo808 K9 is an acronym. It’s shorter for us lazy ppl than writing police canine, military working dog and explaining that they’re dogs specifically trained to assist members of law enforcement and military.

@@A5JDZK i'm pretty jealous of US handlers. You guys get the best of the bunch(dogs). While we love all the dogs we get, most of them have some kind of issue, could be a skin issue, dietery issue, behavioural issue etc while the US usually gets the best ones from the breeders

@@de20 We have an entire team of veterinarians and techs that medically screen the dogs for all kinds of injuries, illness and diseases. Then a team of Handlers evaluates the dogs to determine if they have the needed behaviors to be a working dog.

It's kind of weird. They're both our best friends to the end and yet also ptobably one of the more terrifying weapons in our arsenal.

These are incredible dogs!

I raised a Belgian Mal, we got him when he was a sick lil pup, so he didn’t do much. He’d cuddle with me 24/7 and only take meds from me. I’d hang out outside a lot of times and so he drew the connection that he should go outside to go potty. Very smart little guy, as he got older we just got closer but he always knew what I was thinking, so we’d even wrestle sometimes, spontaneously for no reason at all. I’d be like “wanna fight” lmao. We’d wrestle for 7 to 8 hours sometimes. German sheps don’t have the energy for that, which, is probably a very good thing lmao. I miss the lil guy because I left home for the army. Funnily enough though when I call home, he takes my parent’s phone. Like, the phone he hears me from. It’s hilarious

@@oblivion1751 Nice, I haven't been able to get the backbone to get another yet. It's hard to get another knowing they don't live long enough (imo)

I got a puppy that got disqualified at 7 weeks old because he would attack his siblings. They thought he was overly aggressive, the breeder even considered putting him down. Since I had a lot of experience I took on the task. He turned out amazing and we've competed in Schutzhund.

Your dogs trainer probably trained dogs that scared my dad. Father was Vietnam vet and he described the wall around the installment he was posted at one time to be riddled with tons of German Shepherds at night and it basically was a moat of GSD's instead of alligators and he said he was actually scared of those dogs in the war because they would throw them down hunks of meat and it was basically like watching an alligator feeding frenzy, meat, bones, everything, just gone. He said he was afraid to leave his post. So when I brought a home a GSD and trained with the person who trained the PD K9's in my area and showed Schutzhund he was like "Ah, crap, I'm still going to get eaten alive". He was afraid when he first saw our GSD at 8 weeks old. That's how mean the dogs were in Vietnam. He eventually petted her and he can now recall her and she comes but he sticks his hand around the door with a treat first before he enters so she will take it and go lay down and then he comes in. He's always talking about her too. "Did you know she can split whole cow bones in half?" and "she would take out anyone to protect my daughter, she's really protective of her".

Sounds like Frank Catania

How does one become a trainer of the dogs? This is an amazing informative video!

guess your going to learn the hard way lol

Then the dog run up and bite you

Srry to head that bro

There was a story on the news about a few months ago here, where iirc two military dogs happened to break open their kennels over night and when in the morning, the care taker went to feed them, he was killed by them. These dogs were after that assessed to be euthanized or to be able to stay in military work. But I don't know what the end result was.

Why Saudi Arabia specifically what happened

@@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 They would be euthenissed sadly because of this. Biting without command and even killing is aggression. Aggression for the USA trained dogs means euthenissed

@@instantname3473 It wasn't in the US though but in Germany. Our laws for killing animals are very strict with very high regulation. One bite incident doesn't justify a euthanization by law here.

It's probably because of instinct more than anything.

I think it’s a bit more painful to have a dog rip your flesh than getting shot (idk for sure I’ve never been shot)

@@michelleobamafootcream9292 Definitely would be, but being shot is more lethal.

Cause most people would honestly rather get shot than torn apart by a dog.

@@blaznskais2048 lol it depends really.. you can be shot in ALLOT of places with some super painful but small rounds before dying & it'll probably be just as bad as being mauled by a dog🤷 you've at least got a chance to fight a dog off you! Nobody's ever outran or fought off a bullet lol

Lovely to hear. What did that teach you?

"Their envy will be measured only by their distain"

Bless you for adopting the older dogs for exactly the reasons you state. Your dogs are not "could have been" -- they are because you adopted them with love from your heart. And when you do that, and show the pups your love, they'll lay down their lives for you. I know -- long time GSD owner.

Awesome. The sad thing is many people who turn over dogs like the ones you adopt is because they didn't do the research, and aside from the fact that they had no idea on how to properly train and care for a dog, they aren't able to live with a dog bred to work such as a working line German shepherd. I have one (have had four actually) and I get lots of comments like: "I want a dog like that. " And I'm like: "no you don't, not unless you are willing to devote a lot of time and energy in into being with this dog and giving him a job." It's heartbreaking for me to encounter so many gorgeous dogs with owners who are clearly incompetent, and those dogs never reach their full potential because they aren't with the appropriate human. And yeah, puppies… Every person and their grandmother wants one. At least they do initially until they realize just how much work goes into The proper raising in training that will make the puppy be the best dog possible. People still haven't figured out that to get their "dream dog ", they have to work there behind's off. Were that the case, pounds in shelters and rescue groups wouldn't exist. They shouldn't exist. HUMANS!

@@khanhhm5762 Yeah, it's really sad. I've been volunteering for a long time, and the number of GSD's in the shelters is the highest I've seen yet. I went a few days ago and I'd say half of the entire shelter population was just GSD and huskies.

@@haleyelizabeth8378 i'm sorry, this is a super late response. That makes me super sad! Shepherds, and huskies are two of my favorite breeds. It really is heartbreaking when I see people falling in love for their looks, but they don't bother to do any more research, they get one, and then realize that they are not competent enough to meet the dog's needs. The dog then gets dumped. I wish I could find homes for every single one of them. And not just any home, but the appropriate home. I have all the respect for you for doing what you do. I have volunteered for rescues, but not for shelters. Rescues have their own drama… Mostly with the humans!

@@haleyelizabeth8378 this is bullshit lol there are not record numbers of GSD in shelters. I too work in rescue and can tell you it’s almost entirely pit and pit mixes. NOT purebred German shepherds, which are rare in shelters.

@ricardobezas3728 Hello Ricardo. I am developing a story to honor military dogs. I would love to interview you for a story about FLIPPY. Can I get in touch with you?

Unfortunately people just get a dog based on its looks or "coolness" then never do research. Neighbor has a husky that just sits in the backyard all day. Those dogs needs space and someone to guide them. And not to mention huskies get bored QUICK. And she makes sure we all know she's bored at 6am in the morning.

Exactly. Ppl just think it's the breed that makes them, when it's the breedING. And the training and dedication

what happens when they age?

...As in the German Democratic Republic?

Just got my ddr/Czech gsd. First ever gsd. I love him. Amazing maturing rate so far.

They get donated. They are extremely well bred and raised so they always find interested people, even between military themselves. It's the same when retired.

Depends what area they fail in....if they are great at sniffing drugs but sucks at tracking people, or get injured, they get "reassigned" for other things.

@@weeksweeks9552 oh no xD

There are some videos about in field handlers training with the dogs. You see them sleep with their dogs every night. You see them have bonded. You also see things not seen here as this is like basic. For some dogs they will go and be with a handler through a military drill where there are explosions and loud noises to see if the dog panics and runs because when they said they need them very brave and a lot of go there can be very loud noises in the field including gunfire so if they cower and run then it's a wash. There was one handler who lost his dog after a very long standoff with a man in the Afghanistan war with an insurgent who was dug in. They had exchanged gunfire and believed the insurgent was out of ammo. The dog was sent in to a heavily covered area and while the dog did get the insurgent pinned long enough for the men to come in and get him, he did also stab the dog and when the handler called for the dog and he didn't come back, he knew he was gone. The dog have as much gear on them as the soldiers do and they wear a beacon, but they still were unable to find him. The commander only let them look for so long before he said they needed to leave. There was an entire thing about it on VICE as when a soldier returns home the military would make soldiers promises that when the dogs retires the soldier could have it but the military did NOT make good on those promises. You see one veteran trying to get the dog that almost died with him by asking this man nicely and the man couldn't care less and treated this soldier like crap. You see another be reunited with his dog and he recognizes him right away. It's sad but it goes through more training they have to do as this is in US boot camp for the dogs. BTW My personal opinion is that if the dog retires and the handler is also not currently serving/tours over wants him they should have first dibbs over civilians. As a civilian if you came to my door and said the dog I got from the war you served with and this dog just ran up and pounced on you and started licking you like he knew you there is no way I could keep a veteran from his dog.

I miss being in too,Raul,did 4 yrs US Navy & 7 yrs US Army and did 4 deployments to Iraq with the Texas National Guard ( I volunteered for all 4 tours ) in an infantry unit at Camp TQ ( mid 2004/2005 ) it was still hot and popping in Iraq. Camp TQ was a marine fob,my battalion fell under their authority and they never let us forget either. LOL. Some times we did joint ops with them. Our brigade went to Tilan,Iraq. Saw plenty of action,but,that's what I was there for. Also did 2 deployments back-to-back. i was still PISSED about 9-11,that's what FUELLED my FIRE !!! Wanted some PAYBACK for attacking our country. And I wanted to do something challenging and dangerous.I problably would've done 3 deployments in a row,but on my 2nd tour I got hurt real bad,had to be flown to Ramstein Air Force hospitol in Germany for my wounds. I was there for 3 months,I got there for October-fest. Had never been to Germany,I was SHOCKED at seeing German kids drinking alcohol in the pubs,much less being in adult pubs.I stayed at the Kyle barracks in Germany.I could tell you about my treatment once returning to the states at Ft Hoo,Tx ( we did our 3 month train-up there ) but this thread is long enough already.

Sorry for your loss. Id rather lose people than dogs.

My GSD died at the age of 12 just recently and I haven't been dealing well with the loss. All of my dogs are from the pound and she was severely misused for the first half of her life, which may have shortened her life span. These dogs are amazing and I am sorry for your loss. God bless you for taking one of these wonderful dogs into your heart.

Cross your fingers, unfortunately sometimes you don’t get the job you wanted in the military, my spouse wanted to do k9 and he chose the job as his top list but unfortunately they didn’t have it available at the time for him so they chose something else

Best of luck & God bless you

Agreed. Parents especially (albeit only some, like mine), are terrible at understanding this

Without them we would not have evolved to the top of the food chain

Working Line GSD's out of Europe are AMAZING. herding and farm work by day. Protection work by night. We now have Schutzhund and IPO. When I met with my breeders who are from Europe they could not believe we have kibble in the US or feed it to our dogs. The names with Von ____ Haus is like "from the house of" and you took pride in any dogs you bred and any dogs you raised and trained as they were part of your family and they literally showed me how they cooked for their dogs every single day. They had never seen or heard of kibble before and had always cooked for their dogs and topped the cooked rice, barely, etc and vege's with raw meat.

@@Lizzard2060 It's an actual tragedy... The 80's consumer plunge truely destroyed the at-home markets that this country did best and depended on. Hopefully we're on our way back to small industries in local vicinities producing products by the people for the people.

@@turtlenoheart It destroyed other things as well. Quality being one thing. My father kept clothes from pre 80's and the denim is thick and I wouldn't destroy it in a day and it was common and not what I need to search for in high quality Denim and Duck material now. Same thing with Wool coats. Now we have cheap fast fashion and the clothes rip in one day. People had multiple skills other than their main job. We still do it that way but it's harder and harder and kids raised in apartments and fancy homes didn't know the difference between a nail and a screw. When I was at the gym, they asked me for advice when their fence kept falling over and I have livestock so I've put up many a fence and was even asked if I am a handyman and I don't think I know very much. Lots of people had gardens. Oh, and the GSD's weren't bred to have a slanted back without being posed that way. If you have been to a GSD show recently . . . we don't use American GSD lines for a reason, many have the slant back without placing a foot out, shorter lifespans due to this breeding issue as the hips are gone by 8 yrs old and healthy European imports like mine that have a straight back when just standing and work and live up to 14 yrs. . .and are looked at as weird by American breeders. Similar things are happening in the equine world as well as life expectancy has come down from 30+ yrs of good working time to actually death at 18yrs because we start them too young, some american riders are a bit oversized for their mounts, and we don't put in the care that we should. TB's in particular are having bleeding issues that have never been seen before in the breed. I would also enjoy if we did not have so much Chinese cheap plastic crap.
