UK Police Dog history

This blogsite was produced in answer to the numerous requests by other researchers, over the years, to supply further documents, photographs etc that had been used in my research. It also provides a little nostalgia for those individual Officers I trained with and whos' company I enjoyed during my career, retiring in 1996. I have not reproduced all the pages from my book as hopefully this site will encourage further sales of those copies still in the cellar at Scarthin Books.

Border Terrier

In 2006 I posted details about Harvey our new addition to the family dog tree. An update is the fact that he still has an ASBO and his aggression towards other dogs has not ceased, although under control. This was noted by an 'old lady' (well older than myself) who stopped me in my tracks and suggested that, having seen the problem, suggested that I go down the the Police Station and ask to speak to a Police Dog Handler who would show me how to train him. I stood there rather meekly and agreed to her advice!!!
Having spoken with other owners of this breed, it would appear to be a common problem. Love people and children but hate other dogs.
