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.

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

Morian · 06-07-2011, 15:45

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

Morian · 06-07-2011, 15:51

and even more (sorry for my english, we are from ussr

). their cynologist takes a sample of air with a vacuum cleaner, shalaika sniffs and detects the presence of explosives or narcotics etc. because shalaikas are so shy of strange people

mama mia... i just imagined...

More lies from the American and British press!

They had a 2-3 minute news special here one night 1-2 years ago on a national broadcast (NBC, maybe?). They showed the dogs and hailed them as "Superdogs" - but, as I recall, they only showed the dogs working in a hidden corner of some airport, with no other people around.

exactly... terrorists shouldn't worry

and to vaiva. i think csv would be something like shalaika in our capitalistic days

Though...on topic of shalaikas, the video from Uli in the other post seems to show them not being too shy - they seem comfortable jumping up on benches near strange people in the airport. They are wonderfully cute!
