The most common breed of dog to get selected for service is the Belgian Malinois breed.The Belgian Malinois is smaller than the German Shepherd, allowing it to move through tighter spaces, while sharing many of the same characteristics of intelligence and obedience but with less risk of getting hip dysplasia. They are fast and enjoy being put to work.

Army dogs are chosen for their strength and speed as well as for their obedience, temperament and bravery. Almost any breed of dog could be selected.

Let's not forget our human soldiers who train and assist these brave dogs. Thanks for ensuring our safety and liberty.
