What Do Police Dogs Do?
Doing the complicated tasks of humans is the specialty of these dogs. Generally, these dogs do major operations such as:
Apprehension – Predicting about an unpleasant thing before it happens.
Detection – Detecting drugs, explosives and evidence of a crime scene.
Search and rescue – Identifying the lost or kidnapped victims.
Patrol – Searching in buildings and areas and identify the criminals.
Generally, large dog breeds with higher intelligence, stamina, and strength will be employed as police dogs.
The average police dog height will be between 22 to 35 inches and that depends on the breed and individual dog trait.
The police dogs retire at around 10 years of age and the police dog lifespan may be around 14 to 15 years depending on the health.
