Gregory Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Submarine dog! It is of interest where it could find a piece of grass for its needs? My Labrador Retriever lady requires laboratory conditions, I would say, and for example wet grass for my four-leg lady is unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites
duarte1223 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Current USMC K-9's: a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinoi. It may not seem true from that picture, but Belgian Malinois are among the most faithful of dogs. I sure wouldn't want to cross one with military training though.

rambob Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I got this photo from a WWII vet who was with the Marine 4th division in the Pacific theater. It was taken on Iwo Jima and shows two Dobermans in action, with one heading down towards a cave, and the second dog waiting patiently to bite whoever comes out.

the.warlord1944 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 did you know there was a dog awarded the siver star on sicily! it was later recended I have the article somewhere.The story goes that a german machine gun nest had GI's pinned down and the dog assualted the nest wounding two germans and sending the third running,the dog was shot across the top of the head which left a permanent reverse mohawk. Their was made a movie about it ,,Skipp hte wardogg,, Really great film (they didn`t do the reversed mohawk in the movie but the rest is correct,,). Link to post Share on other sites
