What breeds of military dog are used?

Answer 1

There really is no "breed" of military dog, since technically, all dogs are qualified to become a military dog, ranging from breeds like Poodles to St. Bernards (not that anyone would use a fluffy Poodle). Most military Dog Breeds tody are usually German and Dutch Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheep Dog, Farm Collies, Doberman Pinschers, and Giant Schnauzers. These breeds of dogs were chosen because they are very aggressive, intelligent, loyal, and athletic by nature. Not only that but German Shepherds in particular are the standard breed used in military service, because they are all of the traits above, and also because they adapt very quickly to an environment change. They are also predictable, dependable, easily trained, and moderately aggressive. But for specialize roles, like detective dogs (dogs who find things), dogs with a very good sense of smell and a high level of intelligence are chosen. Among these breeds are Retrievers (Such as Golden, Laborador, or Chesapeake Bay) and hounds due to their very good sense of smell. The following breeds were rejected: * Great Danes - difficult to train because of their size. * Hunting dogs - other animal scents would take their attention away. Alaskan Malamutes and Huskies, though not chosen for the service, are still being trained as sled dogs in the Arctic duty. They are chosen for this task because they can adapt to the cold very well because of their thick fur, unlike some other dogs, and they are strong and hardy, making them the best breeds for hard labor such as pulling sleds across snowy tundras. ----

German Shepherds,Belgian Malinois,Rottweilers,Doberman Pinschers, Pittbulls, and American Staffordshire Terriers.I recommend you do not get Pittbulls or American Staffordshire Terriers because those breeds were bred to have more dominance then normal so I recommend you get a German Shepherd if you are not allergic and if you are then get a rottweiler.
