As the saying goes, the military accepts only the elite of the elite, and the military dog is no exception. They are loyal friends and, in special circumstances, a safe guarantee.
Let's take a look at the top 5 breeds that are most suitable for serving as military dogs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > No.5 boxer dog</h1>
The Boxer is one of the most versatile breeds of dogs known in the world. They served as guard dogs and messengers of the army during the two world wars, and were veritable military dogs.
The Boxer was originally bred as a multi-purpose farm dog and was very diligent. Keen intuition and above-average intelligence make them perfect for transporting lines of communication on the battlefield. Communication spools are connected to their collars, which they then send to different battlefields. He was a true hero in both world wars
Today, they are becoming less common in law enforcement because of health concerns. However, the German police still use them as police dogs in some operations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > No.4 Belgian Marinos</h1>
The Belgian Marinos is the "cousin" of the German Shepherd, smaller than the German Shepherd, but also stronger. It also has the same physical and personality characteristics as many larger dogs, so it is not surprising that you are a military dog. For example, a Marinos named Cairo is a military working dog of THE 6th SEAL.
In addition to police and military operations, they are mainly used as messengers and rescue dogs for search and rescue treatment.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" >No.3 Bloodhound</h1>
The Bloodhound is a type of dog, and just from its legs when it runs, you can easily imagine that it is a typical police or military dog.
Because they can distinguish specific odors better than other dogs and can track them over long distances, they have a very specific role in law enforcement, which is to track people and drugs. This also makes them one of the most famous and valuable military dogs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > No.2 Doberman</h1>
The Doberman has a sense of smell 1,000 times that of humans and was the first breed to act as a police dog. They began working with police in 1889 to hunt down Jack the Ripper in London.
The Doberman Shorthair is a large, muscular dog with slender stature, upright ears, and is very intelligent, ranking fifth among the most intelligent dog breeds, with both brains and muscles. They are loyal and obedient to their owners, which makes them good watchdogs.
Now they are more like family guard dogs, not because they are inferior to the first breed on the list, but because they are generally expensive.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > No.1 German Shepherd</h1>
The German Shepherd ranks third among the most intelligent dog breeds, possessing not only a robust body, but also an extraordinary talent for being a good police dog. They are easy to train and very loyal, they become aggressive whenever they need them, and are now the main members of police dog units around the world.
German Shepherds excel in search and rescue missions, assisting in drug or explosive investigations and even hunting down criminals on specific missions in military warfare.
