Kyle - nice job training a border collie to be a narcotic dog. I always felt they could do the work (assuming one could be found that is enviornmentally sound) I just never heard of anyone doing it. Thanks for posting
Thanks!
Ed,
Our city police department had a BC 5 or 6 years ago for a narcotics dog. I do get quite a few strange looks though. The comments from the bad guys can be priceless also! There have been several times working a non police looking dog has come in handy.
Cool. I have been offered money for my border collie by several people wanting to train him for narcotics or explosives. He is one of the most sound border collies I have met (and I have met many). Even working line gsd folk are surprised at how stable he is....also ball CRAZY! If he is not working sheep...he is throwing a stick, piece of grass or ANYTHING he can find at you to throw back to him.
I somtimes wonder if he is so sound because he grew up with 5 german shepherds and was never treated any different.
One thing to consider with border collies. Even ones that are a bit environmentally sensitive can often overcome this when they are doing what they love. Thier drive to work WILL often overcome any sensitivies.
