Yep, our canine unit rep said that it's very expensive to go to pick one out and that not as many depts are as lucky. I think the officer was flown out to choose his dog, and train with it.. or something like that..

I don't think you understood my point. They don't not use many German Shepherds these days.

However, the majority of their dogs do come from Europe. Some are even trained in foreign languages and the new partner will learn commands in same language. Holland is one of the most command sources for canine dogs.

Cost is not the issue. I merely spoke of the breed.
