The selection of police dog breeds mainly depends on the nerve type, which needs to be excited or active, which huskies can fully meet, but police dogs still need to look at many aspects. 1. The compliance is relatively poor. This is relative to the horse dog, German shepherd, Golden Retriever, Rado and so on, because Husky has a strong sense of self. A strong sense of self is prone to problems, and it is easy to judge the situation and make choices by yourself, instead of completely obeying people’s instructions. Anyone who knows the history of Husky training knows that Husky is a hybrid of Chukchi’s native dog and Arctic Wolf, and his character is full of wild and unruly. The content of the work from beginning to end is sledding, which is a group activity. There are leading dogs in a group of huskies, and the owner’s orders are directly given to the leading dogs, and other members act according to the face of the leading dogs. The lead dog has considerable autonomy, such as road selection, danger avoidance, speed and so on. When encountering bad weather, the lead dog takes over all the power. Everyone knows the story of huskies transporting serum to save people. Sephora and his sleigh team crossed the most difficult road. There was a 20-mile-long ice sheet in the road, which was unstable and fell into a crack. What was more serious was that at night, there was a sudden storm and blizzard, and Sephora could not avoid the crack with the naked eye, so the lead dog Togo took over. Sephora also believed in Togo, and under the leadership of Togo, the team successfully crossed the ice sheet.
Togo and Sephora
Togo, so they don’t actually interact with people much, which causes their poor obedience to human beings, but this does not mean that their IQ is low, and their ability to solve problems by themselves is strong. 2. There are three reasons for unstable personality: First, mixed with wolves, unstable personality. Today’s Labrador is bred by St. John’s water hound, which is bred by Spanish water hound. Now the golden retriever is bred by a Spanish water hound; Now Spenger is also a descendant of the Spanish water hound; Now Satsuma and Alaska also have husky genes. Most of the current German shepherds are West Germany, which was optimized on the basis of East Germany during World War I to cultivate a more comprehensive West Germany. Later, West Germany was cultivated by the Japanese, and Wolf Green was brought to China during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. On the basis of Wolf Green, China cultivated Kunming Dog (Big Wolf Dog). Huskies, however, are descendants of Chukchi’s native dogs and Arctic wolves. They are very primitive and ancient dogs, so Huskies have strange barks, love to howl and love to talk. Ps: The more primitive dogs are, the less trained they are, and the worse their ability to obey human instructions, but that doesn’t mean they are stupid. Secondly, the work content is group cooperation, with a lead dog and a second-in-command … each dog has a different personality with different status.
As shown above: According to their personality, each husky has a different position in the sled dog. The higher the position in the dog team, the higher the position in the sled team. If the lead dog is put behind, it will find trouble and even attack the sled dog next to it. However, if the sled dog with low status is placed in the position of the lead dog, it will be confused and distracted, because the lead dog has a heavy burden and some dogs behind it will not take it, so the whole team will not be able to operate efficiently. Sleds with too much difference in status can’t run side by side, and it is easy to have fights. So a team of sled dogs are pulling sleds, but their status and personality are very different. Thirdly, sledding is a very hard job, and no animal can do it except sled dogs. It is one thing to test the body, and it is also cruel to test the will. In the novel The Call of the Wild, it is also written that often bad or even extreme weather and heavy physical labor will make other dogs collapse, and Siberian sled dogs are competent and do the best. When the temperature is tens of degrees below zero and the visibility is less than one meter, you have to pull the sled. In this case, all the animals are hiding in the cave, and only the sled dogs are still working outside. This does not require an ordinary personality, but a little enthusiasm and chicken blood in the personality.
Sometimes even sled dogs cringe, which requires the encouragement of their owners, so how important it is to have a strong lead dog. And fanaticism and chicken blood are double-edged swords, which are not only swords to break through the difficult environment, but also unstable factors to stabilize the environment. Off-topic: This is also the reason why I advise many people not to keep huskies, because many people are too lazy to take them out for a walk on time every day, and walking can’t satisfy their wild hearts at all. I have seen the documentary of sled race, the whole journey is more than 1,800 kilometers, and I run dozens or hundreds of kilometers every day, with little rest time, but every time I set out, the sled dogs are howling there and very excited. The owner said that this is their normal situation, and their body and mind are in normal condition. (How crazy this is)
3. The problem of work enthusiasm Jin Mao and Lado are hounds in the history of training. They help humans track and retrieve their prey through blood and smell. They love to find things, which is engraved in their genes and is very suitable for search and rescue tasks. At present, German shepherd is mainly in West Germany, which is an all-round dog cultivated by the Germans from East Germany during World War I. Huskies, on the other hand, mainly pull sleds. Pulling, running and teamwork are engraved in their genes. It’s not impossible to find things and be alert, but the innate desire is not as good as those dogs. In the same way, why force a person who loves painting naturally to learn music? There is also a garden dog at home. She didn’t train them since she was a child, and she didn’t teach them instructions. She only looked at her nature. Garden dogs have more police dog talents than her, at least in terms of recovery and search. A. I stood on it and threw stones, and the garden dog picked them up and played for more than an hour. Husky, on the other hand, is not interested in rocks at all. If she throws the ball, she will stop playing two or three times. 00:11b. Throw the stone into a small puddle, and the garden dog can keep looking for it and find it for me. I will throw it down and she will find it again. She can keep playing for more than two hours, but it is good for huskies to play once.
4. The body is not suitable for their physical strength, and they can be competent as police dogs. After all, they can run five marathons a day with sledges for a week. But their fur is double-layered, too tight and too thick. The main area of human life is too hot for them. Too hot affects their physical strength, and they have to rest if they can’t complete any tasks. There is a husky at home. When the temperature is 26℃, it will be hot to rest after running for two kilometers with a bicycle. When the temperature is 30℃, it will not be able to walk for one kilometer. When the temperature goes up again, it can only stop and go, while when the temperature is 0℃, its physical strength is super abundant. Police dogs require adaptability, and husky fur limits their adaptability. The picture below shows the fur of huskies at home. It’s summer recently, and it has reached a part, but it’s still very dense, and the hair is arranged very closely. This is different from other dogs’ hair thickness. You can look at the hair of your own border shepherd, golden retriever and German shepherd.
5. Sleds with low vigilance against strangers often lend out, so those who are aggressive to strangers in the training process cannot be sled dogs. Over time, huskies are not aggressive to human beings (they are also called “three dogs that are not aggressive to human beings” with Jin Mao and Rado), but they are not very enthusiastic about strangers because of their low interaction with people. These are probably the reasons why huskies can’t be police dogs. Finally, I want to say that huskies after entering the family are much gentler than huskies pulling sleds.
