    So, first I'm a bent copper and now an informant? I do love you religious people. So upstanding and honest ?

    There are people that understand dogs and there are people that just own them. I know a couple that ran a boarding kennels and every single dog was given the free run of their house. They could have up to 14 dogs in the house including their own and rarely have any bother. Another woman who my wife used to work with has a kennels in Cornwall. Every dog mixes with every other dog in the exercise compound. No problem. Then you get those silly feckers on tv who pay someone a small fortune to spend a couple of hours undoing all the problems they have instilled into their dogs. Its never the

    There is still a big market for them. A lot of the dealers are wrong side of the tracks. We used to buy some dogs from a firm called CPS in north London. They had the dog warden contracts for a lot of London boroughs and so has an endless supply of strays that they grade and then sell on. I went down one day to buy a GSD and they had around 20 to choose from. All schite. They brought them into a piece of spare ground one by one. First I threw a ball into long grass. Any that showed no interest were rejected. Those that at least searched for the ball were then taken to the edge of the area whil

    You posted the other day that you had been told that you don't understand more times than you can count. But you don't accept that. You can't see the other guy's point of view. A couple of weeks ago someone said that your jokes weren't funny and went on to explain why American humour is different to American humour. Your response was to post even more unfunny posts and make out that it is us that are wrong, not you. When I first contacfed you over a year ago I suggested that you at least attempt to write in English English not as though you were talking to Hank outta State. You didn't see the

    That's like what used to happen in the canteen on nights when I let Jet in off leash. He would sit in front of the one with the biggest sandwich and just give him 'the look'. Always worked ?

    Here you go, read this; Leerburg | Hard Surface Tracking With the Rotterdam Police LEERBURG.COM In September of this year I went back to the Police Dog Training Center in Rotterdam Holland with my friend Kevin Scheldahl. We went there with the expressed...

    Its a myth imo. There is a book written by a retired Texas Ranger who explains how they tracked illegals coming in from Mexico over scrub, rocks and desert. Fascinating reading and I would think that there was more chance of tracking that way than using a dog. I reckon a dog could track for no more than 12 miles a day in several short stints, in ideal conditions, with plenty of water available.

    Saying they won't grass on somebody is all well and good. But play the Devil's Advocate and would you want others to grass up the person who'd done harm to your family?

    A dog cannot track for 100 miles. Around 5 miles maximum in ideal conditions and it would become fatigued. The story is a myth IMO. It cannot be verified as cannot the other claims made for the dog. The Dutch police around the 1980's were the pioneers at training tracking dogs. They broke new ground and lead the way to many new techniques being introduced.

    If the team he is working for have any sense he won't be found - ever.

    There was a lot of interest in other breeds because of the shortage of GSDs. Rotties generally won't hunt away from their handler. You have to get them young and train them like you would a gundog. It doesn't come naturally to them. Dobermans just haven't got the aptitude for police work. OK for the aggression in a crowd scenario, but not good at tracking and searching. That's why so few are used.

    His daughter didn't deserve being killed and if he's left on the streets somebody else might kop for a stray bullet. I agree with the rest of it.

    How about that.

    You've already given enough details about him for anyone with a bit of nous and local knowledge to use to find him.

    But with him out of the picture his family will be safer.

    After 9/11 there was a lot of recruitment for explo' detection dogs. There was also a massive increase in guard dog breeds being trained up. That had the effect of driving up the price of those breeds throughout Europe and the States. At the start most regional police forces could fill their dog sections with donated dogs. After 9/11 each force needed more dogs, as did the army and prison service and there was a shortage. Initially we were paying £500 for a suitable dog after 2001. By 2003 the price had gone over a grand and there was a serious shortage of decent GSDs down to high demand and t

    Quantity, not quality. Reports said the gunman reached round a door and shot blindly into the room. That ain't a pro'.

    I think they are the minority. When you see the dogs on beating lines and tethered to gun pegs up and down the country they don't take it that seriously.

    The privatisation of utilities was Thatcher's doing. She was far right. The problem is that it is far, far more difficult to nationalise industries than privatise them. And governments only last a maximum of 5 years so these plans go on the back burner.

    Always breaks my heart when I lose a dog. Even when they have to be put down out of kindness. But I think when this little terrier goes I'll dance down the high street. And no more after her (he says again).

    Its the same all the time. He asks questions but cannot understand the answers. He is too insular like a lot of his countrymen. How Brits train and work hunting dogs is polar opposite to how the Yanks do it. It is far more personal and involves a relationship with ups and downs. To them a dog is a tool, nothing more.

    Yes, the last king of Scotland Idi Amin was a firm believer of superiority of the white races ?

    But it has also been used to describe military takeovers of countries ruled by royalty like Greece and also governments as has happend in Central and South America.

    There were a few of them in your neck of the woods. None fatal and all carried out by noddies. Not the skilled, logical executioners you see on tv. Just some low life who was usually more scared than the people he was supposed to threaten. The Liverpool job looks like the same sort of thing. An amateur hit man.

    I don't think that was sufficient to get permission for a search warrant.? As I said; we don't have all the facts. And the press are quite happy with that.
  25. Nicepix
    No, but we don't know the full circumstances. My point was that an admission in interview with no other evidence is not enough for a charge to be brought. People change their stories. Let's say he admitted it and a witness described clothing that he was not wearing at the time of arrest. It is possible, if necessary, to locate that clothing. Or recover things for forensics. Otherwise in 2 months time with a new not guilty plea any evidence would be lost.
