Working with a new partner soon...

I think police dog handler is one of the more sought-after roles. Congratulations !

 

[Supersuperleeds]

He does... But due to the policy of my force when it comes to social media, which Cycle Chat classifies as, I can't say! They have to get permission from PR to do so. There are some odd rules - for example I'm allowed to say on social media "I'm a police officer" but could be disciplined if I specify which force I work for.

Whereas if we were having this conversation on a pub I'd be fine to give all that info out. Not my rules... So I'm afraid I'll just have to call him dog!

Are you allowed to say what part of the country you live in?

Met him today. Think we are going to get on fine

What sort of biscuits does he like? just in case he ever chases me that is.

Doesn't look very bitey to me, are you sure he's a real police dog?

He's not bitey yet, he begins his first training next month - as will I!

Biscuits for you too then

I had an ex services GSD, he was a tad awesome. I hope that you have a long and successful partnership and that you share the bonios equally between yourselves (very good with Marmite)

He's a little beauty that's for sure. I wish him and you every success for the future as a crime busting duo

[stephec]

Can we adopt him as the offical CC pet?

I'll volunteer to give him a good hard kicking once the dog's got him down.

I can see we could have some real fun with Froomedog

I'll go make a list...

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I already have one

I'm gonna keep it easy - everyone expect me should cover it

 

[Incontinentia Buttocks]

Well done mate, you are now officially rarer than hens teeth!

 

[Smokin Joe]

I worked as a dog handler when I was a park ranger many moons ago. Even with a protective sleeve on when you're training a dog you don't half feel it's teeth sinking in.

A great way to earn a living though, you spend more time with the dog than with your wife and the bond you build is incredibly strong. Stronger than I had with my wife as we got divorced.

Fair enough but bagsie I go first before he learns what he is supposed to do.

We're talking about potsy aren't we...
