The DPCA started the K9 recruitment surge, offering thousands of Dobermans to the Marines, thereby giving them their “Devil Dog” reputation.

All the dogs, except those who gave their lives in battle, were returned.

Some of the biggest named show kennels in America sent *many* of their Dobes.

You may THINK you know something of Marine Corps history, but you’d be wrong. The term, “devil dogs” was applied to us by the Germans in WWI (Teufel hunden, or hounds from hell). Had nothing to do with borrowed dogs during WWII whatsoever.
