Two K-9 Officers Enjoy Delightful Playtime

Just like human police officers need to take a break from time to time from their burdening profession, the officers from the K-9 unit needs some down time too!

A Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd, two police officers, have been granted some playtime off hours and the duo, professional as they are, took that very seriously! The two gorgeous hounds were allowed to run and roam all day on some fresh green grass, without having to take down a perp or bite an offender’s arm off. It is a good day to be a dog!

Other than the obvious similarity of the two breeds when it comes to appearance, colors and size, the Malinois and GSD are far more alike. Both breeds are often used as service dogs in the police and armed forces. Both are exceptional at working tasks: detection of odors such as explosives, accelerants (for arson investigation), and narcotics; tracking humans for suspect apprehension in police work; and search and rescue missions.

Families love these two as well, since they take training exceptionally well, although the Malinois dog is far less stubborn than the GSD; they are great with kids and can be very protective of their families.

In a nutshell, a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinois have a lot in common, but the price isn’t one. A Malinois will cost you around $600, while a GSD will set you back at least double that.
