Company Security

Security Dogs

How many companies would like a trained sniffer dog, like a nice friendly Beagle X (insert your dog's breed here) mix to sit by their security person to sniff for weapons as people come in?

And where will they get those not- too- extreme- to- learn- anything- new dogs? One's that are healthy?

From those purebred show dog breeders? Please, this isn't a funny moment, people have just died.

This is yet another case, where you can see that show breeders are NOT choosing which dogs to breed based on useful abilities.

If you want a dog to win in one of those 'hair' shows - then you breed the dogs that win in those kinds of shows.

If you want to produce useful, easy to train dogs, then you breed the dogs that are useful and easy to train.

Are show dog breeders breeding responsibly?
I don't think so.

Laws that almost got by, like California's 1634

would have made regular people have their dogs spayed or neutered, but would have let those show breeders still crank out all the puppies they want.
Lawmakers, dog breeders, and the dog clubs really need to get their priorities right.
