[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, are they training it to be a Police Dog or are they in the Military? If not why would they get this type of dog?
Is its a Belgian Malinois?[/quote]

Wow yes good job, it is a Belgian Malinois. They are NOT a military or police family in the least!! I think they just saw a cute puppy and didn't know what they were getting into... but I haven't asked.

[b]The Belgian Malinois: The dog the White House didn’t use on fence-jumping intruder[/b]
It is driven to hunt and capture prey. It looks like a leaner, more agile German Shepherd. It has a 270-degree field of vision and the force of its bite equals 1,400 pounds per square inch. It can run 30 miles per hour. It can withstand the heat of the desert and an August day in Washington, D.C. It can smell drugs, bombs and unmarked graves. It’s deadly enough to help take out Osama bin Laden, but gentle enough to push a toddler in a toy car.

The Secret Service exclusively uses the elite breed on its canine force. After an intruder jumps the fence and triggers the alarm, canine teams are trained to be released within four seconds “to act as a missile, launching in the air to knock the subject down, and then biting an arm or leg if need be to subdue the person until the handler arrives,” The Washington Post reported.

Chasing people down is one thing these dogs, which are also used by the U.S. military, do best. “The best way the dogs are used is that they can chase down anyone,” a military dog handler said of a dog deployed with the Marines in Iraq in 2005. “A Marine might not be able to catch someone, but the dogs will.”

A Belgian Malinois was on hand when a Pokemon fan jumped the White House fence earlier this month.[/quote]
