WASHINGTON — President Biden’s nearly two-year-old German shepherd Commander bit seven people in a four-month period after former first dog Major was ousted from the White House over similar aggressive behavior, according to internal Secret Service communications reviewed by The Post.
The shocking spate of incidents involving Commander — none of them previously known — mirror attacks involving Major, who the White House says was given to family friends after biting many Secret Service members in 2021.
In the most serious documented incident involving Commander, the White House physician’s office on Nov. 3, 2022, referred a bitten Secret Service uniformed officer to a local hospital for treatment after the dog clamped down on their arm and thigh, according to emails released under the Freedom of Information Act to conservative legal group Judicial Watch.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the dog bites — after facing criticism for non-transparency for covering up incidents involving former first dog Major.

Biden, 80, has reportedly expressed doubts about the honesty of a Secret Service member who reported being bitten on the leg by his prior dog Major, also a German shepherd, and the White House has not disclosed any biting incidents involving Commander, who often can be heard barking on the executive mansion’s grounds.
Behind the scenes, agents described alarming series of incidents.
The most serious incident on Nov. 3 began as a Secret Service officer was seated at the bottom of a stairwell at the White House.

The fellow Secret Service member wrote back: “What a joke… if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle.”

Agree!
Unless Hunter lives there and he's responsible for the GSD. But otherwise, no.
The dogs are almost as nasty as the president
Secret Service uses them, including at the White House, though they use Malinois now rather than Shepherds. An untrained, unsocialized, dog like Joe’s shouldn’t be be unsupervised in public anywhere and shame on the owner, President or janitor.
Both dogs are viscious? You know, they take on the personality of their owners.
xiden is a weak sister, he compensates with bit talk, threats, big houses, corvettes and german sheppards, pedophilia and no telling what else. A seriously and terribly deranged individual.
Again, people who anthropomorphize dogs are idiots.
Secret service agents should file a hostile workplace complaint. Does Brandon still skinny-dip in front of the female SS agents like he used to when he was VP?
Agreed. Biden probably gets off on his dogs being aggressive to people other than himself.
Doubtful, I suspect he has at least 2-3 home health aides with him at all times now.
Biden was forced to remove Major from the White House for biting SS agents and others. I wonder what is the holdup with removing Commander.
The resident animal trainer is busy working with biden to help him get through his meetings with the press
My Aunt rescued literally thousands of dogs over her long life, she always said there are no bad dogs, just bad owners.
German Shepherds were one of her favourites.
All anyone needs with my dog is a Ziploc bag full of hot dog slices if he starts acting or barking aggressively. He’ll be your best friend after a few pieces.
That’s a keeper.
Unsocialized herding dogs are the worst....
Good point. They need to stay busy too.
You’d think the dog came from a reputable breeder, and was fully socialized, and somewhat trained. Surprised that they haven’t put a dog walker on staff...at $100K.
Dog’s are simple animals. Commander knows the Bidens good or bad are his “pack”. The dog senses disgust or hate from certain agents and it’s his way of protecting his pack.
i give my cousins little dog a treat and she is as happy as can be, before that all bark.
The shows clearly what kind of man Je Biden is. He doesnt care about anyone!
