Two of the police dogs to which I attend are nothing but a joy with which to work. They are attentive, gregarious and responsive. I look forward to seeing them for routine checkups. Again, these are handled and worked which means they are trained and used to being handled. I am anticipating the movie, Max, and having worked with MWD in the USAF hoping to see a good depiction of one.
I have one as well, I’ve owned numerous GSD, dobes, etc., this one is far the easiest to train, and the athleticism is off the charts. Mine is from a pretty high end line of sport and working dogs, and very social, while extreme in protection.
The biggest problem with these is that they learn fast enough that you have to NEVER let them get away with anything. Great with kids, but big time bitework.
