These were the ones who went for Bin Laden

Good Afternoon, I believe after reading her posts that Acira is an experienced and knowledgeable dog trainer. Those dogs are Malinois which is the Lexus of service dogs however unless you missed where the dog bit his handler and then contested the correction a Malinois trained for service is not for an inexperienced handler. But if you can make a deal with Acira for obedience you will have an excellent "guard" dog. They will bite. I just finished an evaluation of seven team Police Canine Corps teams with Malinois and there only problem was that there was too much emphasis on bite work and not enough on control. I have trained with a couple dozen of them and only had one that I had to return because when he saw a sleeve he got so wound up he would keel over! That said they are great with kids and very affectionate but different from a GSD. You are there older brother not their Dad and compulsion don't work.

A nice home where they can kill the kids as they sleep?
Der Fish

The Malinois and the Australian Shepherd are both known for their loyalty to the family, and especially the kids. When my daughter was around 4, one of our Malinois was so dedicated to her, she could lay him down in front of the tv and use him as a pillow, watching the teletubbies for 2 hours. After those 2 hours even I was ready to bite or kill her, but he didn't... lol

On another occasion she was playing in the front garden, while he was in the fenced area (14 feet high). Our female neighbor from across the road came over to ask something, and all of a sudden our Toby was in between her and my daughter. As a well trained dog he did not attack, but protected her and showed his determination.

Enough proof of their love for children and the family, or should I continue?

Could not have said it better myself. If you just want one for guarding your house, concentrate on the obedience. The guarding is natural to them.

I got one better! Several years ago I got a call that one of my handlers had left the kennel open and his partner had escaped. I went to the scene and we found the dog six houses away in the bathtub with two kids who he did not know. The public relations turned out great.

On request...WAR dogs

WAR Dogs
In case some body would still have doubts why we love so much the breed of Belgian Malinois...here is a fine example of some of the work they do.

Acira

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When U.S. President Barack Obama went to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, last week for a highly publicized, but very private meeting with the commando team that killed Osama bin Laden, only one of the 81 members of the super-secret SEAL DevGru unit was identified by name: Cairo, the war dog.
Cairo, like most canine members of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs, is a Belgian Malinois. The Malinois breed is similar to German shepherds but smaller and more compact, with an adult male weighing in the 30-kilo range.

69e685140a3ede35216f4542313f7e9c.jpg


German shepherds are still used as war dogs by the American military but the lighter, stubbier Malinois is considered better for the tandemparachute jumping and rappelling operations often undertaken by SEAL teams.Labrador retrievers are also favoured by various military organizations around the world.

ATT00002.jpg


ATT00003.jpg


Like their human counterparts, the dog SEALs are highly trained, highly skilled, highly motivated special ops experts, able to perform extraordinary military missions by SEa, Air and Land (thus the acronym).
The dogs carry out a wide range of specialized duties for the military teams to which they are attached. With a sense of smell 40 times greater than a human?s, the dogs are trained to detect and identify both explosive
material and hostile or hiding humans.
The dogs are twice as fast as a fit human, so anyone trying to escape is not likely to outrun Cairo or his buddies.

ATT00004.jpg


The dogs, equipped with video cameras, also enter certain danger zones first, allowing their handlers to see what?s ahead before humans follow.
As I mentioned before, SEAL dogs are even trained parachutists, jumping either in tandem with their handlers or solo, if the jump is into water.
Last year canine parachute instructor Mike Forsythe and his dog Cara set the world record for highest man-dog parachute deployment, jumping from more than 30,100 feet up ? the altitude transoceanic passenger jets fly at.
Both Forsythe and Cara were wearing oxygen masks and skin protectors for the jump.
Here?s a photo from that jump, taken by Andy Anderson for K9 Storm Inc.

ATT00005.jpg


As well, the dogs are faithful, fearless and ferocious ? incredibly frightening and efficient attackers.
I have seen it reported repeatedly that the teeth of SEAL war dogs are replaced with titanium implants that are stronger, sharper and scare-your-pants-off intimidating, but a U.S. Military spokesman has denied that charge, so I really don?t know (never having seen a canine SEAL face-to-face). I do know that I?ve never seen a photo of a war dog with anything even vaguely resembling a set of shiny metal chompers.
When the SEAL DevGru team (usually known by its old designation, Team 6) hit bin Laden?s Pakistan compound on May 2, Cairo?s feet would have been four of the first on the ground.
And like the human SEALs, Cairo was wearing super-strong, flexible body Armour and outfitted with high-tech equipment that included ?doggles? ? specially designed and fitted dog googles with night-vision and infrared
capability that would even allow Cairo to see human heat forms through concrete walls.
Now where on earth would anyone get that kind of incredibly niche hi-tech doggie gear?

From Winnipeg, of all places.

Jim and Glori Slater?s Manitoba hi-tech mom-and-pop business, K9 Storm Inc., has a deserved worldwide reputation for designing and manufacturing probably the best body Armour available for police and military dogs.
Working dogs in 15 countries around the world are currently protected by their K9 Storm body Armour.

Jim Slater was a canine handler on the Winnipeg Police Force when he crafted a Kevlar protective jacket for his own dog, Olaf, in the mid-1990s.Soon Slater was making body Armour for other cop dogs, then the Canadian military and soon the world.The standard K9 Storm vest also has a load-bearing harness system that makes it ideal for tandem rappelling and parachuting.

ATT00007.jpg


And then there are the special hi-tech add-ons that made the K9 Storm especially appealing to the U.S. Navy SEALs, who bought four of K9 Storm Inc.?s top-end Intruder ?canine tactical assault suits? last year. You can be sure Cairo was wearing one of those four suits when he jumped into bin Laden?s lair.
Here?s an explanation of all the K9 Storm Intruder special features:

ATT00008.jpg


Just as the Navy SEALS and other elite special forces are the sharp point of the American military machine, so too are their dogs at the top of a canine military heirarchy.
In all, the U.S. military currently has about 2,800 active-duty dogs deployed around the world, with roughly 600 now in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I should have mentioned that the pups have to be socialized but again in reading past posts I think that with Acira that is covered. But after training you must be prepared to invest 20-30 minutes a day in maintenance training. If you are lazy I once got a Dogo because a family could not handle her. It is a low energy but scary looking (think giant staffordshire terrier) with a built in protect drive. My kids used to ride her and pull available body parts but when anyone came to visit she would " sashsay" over in a calm manner keeping the kids behind her and look the visitor right in the eye. A great dog (bitch) but like all white dogs with a lot of skin problems. Sometimes while watching TV for instance I woud have to make the kids pick up or go to bed etc. and Bonita would look up and appear to be weighing the tone of my voice and body language and then lay back down. Like most of the Mastiff family essentially lazy.

Socializing is the first step but you have to do that with every dog. My dogs that I use for security and protection work will work their first year solely in obedience but we keep that fire they have instinctively for prey drive hence biting going on in a playful way. When they are fully trained in obedience and under control, we start with the serious bite work exercicises. They will bite instinctively but you need to excercise hundreds of different scenario's so that both handler and dog are comfortable in every situation. Everything needs to stay under control, that is the key for success in having a good guard and protection dog.

They are up for adoption. They are a cross between my best Belgian Malinois and a very tough Australian Lady ;)

So to ask AlterEgo's question again:

NO CHARGE at all for any of these dogs? CORRECT? No vet. fees, food fees, breeding fees, care fees... etc. Correct?

First come first gets the pick with no charge. Second, third and so on. Correct?
