But Saarlos was not ment for military service, so that is why it is the way it is. But if it would be a breed still made for military purposes?

I guess a more modern approach would be Sulimov's dogs?

And they are successful, I think?

Is it the same thing though? I thought the dogs in that discussion were wolf/GSD crosses used for military work? The dogs I have seen in the news stories here are husky/jackal mixes, used only for sniffing bombs.

* Nevermind, it is still early here. I didn't read the 2nd page. I must wake up. :P

jackal/laika i think. sulimov dog is so called shalaika. i heard that they are in use in airports (explosive detection), but... there is no extraordinary result still

well... what i found in internet about shalaikas. they are extremely shy and surely can't work in crowded spaces, but one shalaika pup costs more than new mercedes
