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.

Police dogs in the family

Reading the 1st comment I now have to introduce the new dog in the family, Border Terrier 'Harvey', he has had no Police Dog to bring him in line and has great difficulty in understanding my training manual.
