Albert - the GS Police Dog!
Over the last couple of weeks, my lovely wife has been telling me about Albert - the Giant Schnauzer Police dog with the Devon and Cornwall police. She found him via her Facebook page and now keeps an eye on his progress with the police force. I have seen pictures of him and no suprise indeed, he reminds me of Hugo! Also some video's of him too training and he looks the part too. I have never known a Giant Schnauzer to be considered by a police force before, so something I am now watching.
I will attempt later to put up a link to the Facebook page when I see my lovely lady later. In the meantime, it was news story 'locally' September last year, see: https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-ne ... py-5932093
(PS: I did have a search on the forum to see if this has been mentioned but could not see anything, sorry if it has been covered before)

Re: Albert - the GS Police Dog!
Got the link but it is not Facebook but 'Twitter', re DC_Police Dogs (Puppy Development Programme). It is an open public Twitter account so can see it without having a Twitter account. If you scroll through the feed, you will come across 'Albert' - https://twitter.com/DC_PoliceDogs
Watching a couple of the video's of Albert especially at the Devon Show is like watching our Hugo bringing tears to my eyes too.

Re: Albert - the GS Police Dog!
thank you for sharing, I will have a look for a read about Albert. When we got our first girl, Suzi we had heard that Giants were used in America / Canada as my husband had seen it on TV years ago.

Re: Albert - the GS Police Dog!
Another update on 'Albert'. He has officially passed out as 'Police Dog (PD) Albert' yesterday and today Albert goes to his new owner John in Plymouth to start his 'officially duties'. So begins a new chapter in Albert's life and one that we thankfully still be able to follow (https://twitter.com/_GS_Albert). As far as it is known, Albert is the only Giant Schnauzer in any police force in the UK and therefore may attract some media attention.
In the meantime, here is some further Twitter clips of Albert from recent times.

Re: Albert - the GS Police Dog!
Another update, 'Albert' has settled in well with his new Police handler, John and now onwards and upwards. See: https://twitter.com/_GS_Albert/status/1 ... 7528832002
In the meantime, the trainer of 'Albert' has now decided to get another Giant Schanuzer to train as a Police Dog, his name is 'Bert' and if reports are correct, he collected him today! So start of another chapter and watch this boy grow up.

Re: Albert - the GS Police Dog!
When 'Albert' meets 'Bert'! By the way 'Bert' is from the same parents as 'Albert'.

Re: Albert - the GS Police Dog!
Just to advised that 'Albert' the Giant Schnauzer has settled in very well as an active Police Dog and he seems to be very popular, not surprised he is a handsome GS though. Below are a couple of links to images and action video's.
