What a great post, RR. Thanks!
You will hear more of Bo when the LSM starts to wake up and stop defending Hussein.
A professionally trained Belgian Malinois can cost as much as $65,000.

When you consider that Muslims generally regard dogs as unclean animals, the thought that one of the last things OBL saw was this dog in his house is a really amusing.
This dog!
Ping.
...with a sense of smell 40x greater than a human's... are at least twice as fast as any human being... are even trained parachutists...Try *that* with a goat, bin Losers.
My pleasure... and proud to have Cairo on our side!
Good point, Malone... I guess the formal burial was pretty much a waste of time then lol
considering moslems have such a low opinion of dogs this is quite fitting . . . almost as good as having a highly trained pig, think Arnold Ziffel in uniform, first in the door at Osama’s lair.
LOL.. That impressed me, too! There needs to be a movie/documentary about these Hero Dogs! :)
BTTT
” with a sense of smell 40x greater than a human’s”
Huge underestimation.
A dog’s sense of smell is 1,000 to 10,000 times greater than a human’s.
A dog has 220 million olfactory sensors while a human has only 5 million.
The area of their brain devoted to smell is 40 times greater than a human’s.
But what is most fascinating to me is that a dog’s sense of smell gives it a sensor humans lack entirely - the ability to know the past.
Actually “catch dogs” are lean and look nothing like these aberrant oversized pits which wadle. They need stamina and long necks.
They look like these dogs:
http://www.workingpitbull.com/activities2.html
“This breed combines strength and athleticism with grace and agility and should never appear bulky or muscle-bound or fine-boned and rangy. Above all else, the APBT must have the functional capability to be a catch dog that can hold, wrestle (push and pull) and breathe easily while doing its job. Balance and harmony of all parts are critical components of breed type.
Very Serious Fault: Any disproportionate overdone characteristic (such as short legs, excessive bone or massive head or body) that would interfere with working ability. “

The catch dogs I worked with were as far as I could tell were average in proportion, with the bulldog a little on the lean side IIRC.
Give them time...a little positive re-enforcement and they could learn.
Hell, these dogs are smarter than most of the asshats my company employs.
Please TELL me you have pics you can post of that. Sounds like an amazing experience.
