Willie served the city of Davenport from 2011 to 2016 and lived out his retirement with his handler, Officer Canas.

But his handler, Chief Randy Glick, said it's scary that the 8-year-old Dutch shepherd could have inhaled a deadly substance in the line of duty.

Dutch is cross-trained in drug searches, tracking, patrol actions and will “complement K9 Gismo, who is also trained as a multipurpose dog,”

He’s great at protection, as evidenced by the blistering growls emanating from his tense body as The Reporter’s lone photographer attempted to take his picture.

He’s also awesome at sniffing out methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy and marijuana. That fact was proven as the dog alerted on the hidden drugs located in a nearby bush and on a nearby car.

“He does apprehension, tracking, area searches, article searches and recently he alerted and found someone in a house,” Siebert said.

http://www.journalaz.com wrote:It’s a change from business as it occurred only a decade ago, when most K-9 officers discouraged the public from interacting with their animals. Fear of bites as well as the threat of distracting the dog from its training revealed a belief about the dogs themselves: That they could not be trusted around the public.

The training styles have changed,” Cottonwood Police Department K-9 Officer Cory Shilling said, adding that the philosophy among K-9 cops was once to train dogs for viciousness. “The dogs were mean. Now, that’s not the case …. If we have really good discipline, we can control the play and prey drive.”

Following the uproar on social media about the state of the dogs, an investigation was launched and the dogs were removed from the kennels immediately.

Axe was a very high-drive Dutch shepherd, and you just had to train and work Axe the right way. You had to understand Axe and his thinking. Once we connected and once he realized that, ‘Hey, this is where I’m at and this is where I’m going to stay,’ he became much easier to train.”
