From the dog’s mouth — How do you become a police dog?:

NZ Police gets all manner of questions on its recruitment facebook page. One potential recruit even asked “how do you become a police dog?” We decided to speak to a police dog and find out.

Robert sent me these links to some great videos:

Thought you might be able to make use of these videos on the site. They are tracking the progress of Cheshire Police’s new border collie puppy as he becomes a drugs detection dog.

Meet Cheshire Police’s newest recruit: Ziggy the border collie. Ziggy is nine weeks old. When he grows up he wants to be a drugs detection dog, but at the moment he is far too busy being a puppy.

In the second part of our series following our new border collie puppy, Ziggy is now 16 weeks old and is getting to grips with basic commands and searching for his toy.

In part three of the series following our new border collie puppy, Ziggy has been creating a bit of the stir in the media. He has appeared on Granada Reports and in several newspapers since we last caught up with him. But his feet are being kept firmly on the ground by his friends George and Storm.

More importantly, Ziggy is progressing very well. So well, in fact, that he is now scheduled to go on his drugs detection course this May [2010] when he will still be just nine months old. That is three months earlier than PC Alison Bowkett, his handler, had initially expected.

See if you can spot the moment Ziggy’s enthusiastic sniffing around cause him to knock into the camera tripod!

Remember to subscribe to the Cheshire Police YouTube Channel for more updates on Ziggy.

The Northumbria Police in the UK have set up a PuppyCam:

Northumbria.

The nine puppies were born on Thursday October 15th [2009]. There are five boys and four girls.

It was evening when I checked and I didn’t see the puppies unfortunately.

The BBC News fills in a bit more information:

The German shepherds were born to police dog Heidi last week and the five-year-old is now retiring after providing the force with three litters.

Members of the public are able to watch the dogs, five male and four female, during their first few weeks before embarking on training.
