Why are we importing dogs from Czechloslovakia? Those Trump tariffs can’t start soon enough!!
Maybe they meant to write the Czech Republic, but incompetence is pretty much the operating mode for the ACSO.
I have emailed the ACSO to let them know there is no Republic of Czechoslovakia. That country has not existed since 1993. You would think they would know where they acquired the dog.
This clearly the incompetence of Emery Gainey. Glad he’s out in one week.
Gainey is great, it’s Clovis Jr. they have to get ready for.
Time to go and take a bite out of crime!!
Woof woof, grrrrr!
Czechoslovakia doesn’t exist. It was divided into the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic in 1993.
Hoyt, take it easy…you’re overreacting with the checkoslovakia thing… you’re probably Jazz with the TDS.
Glad to see the Sheriff’s Office investing in these impressive K-9 units. Shows the kind of global excellence we should be embracing – a true testament to the international cooperation against crime. These are the resources we need to ensure order and prevent our towns from falling into disarray.
Hopefully, Dagger will help restore some sanity to this world… a little extra authority is never a bad thing!
OMG we are in trouble now. The government obtained a two year old dog from a country that ceased to exist 31 years ago.
This can mean only one thing. The government has a working time machine out in Area 51 that they are not telling us about!
We simply don’t talk about these things publicly.
Malinois seem to be all the rage these days, but I would put my safety in the “paws” of a Germen Shephard ANY day over a Mal.
Mals are Better, faster, smarter… little smaller than a German shepherd …
And also are not hobbled by poor breeding for concepts of AKC beauty with the sloped back leading to hip and other orthopedic issues. Mals are healthier and have a longer service life.
@ Mal owner: absolutely correct about the poor breeding and the sloped croup. My GSD was from Germany and did not have those problems associated with American bred dogs. Both are wonderful dogs, I just prefer GSD’s like you prefer Mals.
Disagree totally. GSD’s are the best.
The article says Czech Republic…
The original press release said Republic of Czechoslovakia. It was later updated.
