W Sibs Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) New breed in the police force POLICE in the western Japanese prefecture of Tottori unveiled two unusual new recruits - a pair of toy poodles, the Nihonkai Shimbun reported. Fuga, two, and Karin, one, passed the police canine test in July and would be put to work finding missing hikers in the mountainous region. The female toy poodles, one of which is gray and the other brown, also would take part in criminal manhunts, the report said. Poodles are an unusual choice of police dog -- normally, larger breeds are preferred. "Their trainers thought the dogs had keen senses and responded exceptionally well to commands," AFP quoted a spokesman as saying. The remote Tottori prefecture, some 300 miles (480 kilometers) from Tokyo, does not have a full-time police canine force and relies on about 20 domestic dogs with special training to help when needed.

HugL Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Interesting choice. I hope it works out well. Just hope they don't get the same reputation as other police dogs or we may see another breed banned ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
