"They are your friend,
your partner,
your defender
your dog.
You are their life,
their love,
their leader.
They will be yours,
faithful and true,
to the last beat
of their heart.
You owe it to them
to be worthy
of such devotion."

a part of one's soul
remains unawakened."

A little about our nosy dogs...
Sasha
Certified in Narcotics Detection
Sasha is a black and red German Shepherd Dog. She was born March 22, 1997. Sasha was originally trained as a police/patrol K-9, and is also excellent in tracking. She was trained as a naroctics detection dog in 1999, and certified by the West Virginia Police Canine Association. She re-certifies yearly. Sasha is an active indicator. Dogs that are active indicators usually scratch or bark to show where the narcotics are or were hidden. This girl is very smart and doesn't waste much time. She works quickly and then is ready to play!

Stuka
Certified in Explosives Detection
STUKA is a black and red German Shepherd Dog. He is one of six pups that Sasha had December 5, 2001. He is extremely intelligent, a very, very busy dog, with an unending desire to work or play. He loves to stay busy all the time and seems to never tire. STUKA certified in explosives detection at the age of 7 months, also through the West Virginia Police Canine Association and re-certifies yearly. His first job was sniffing over 1500 parachutes for explosives at Bridge Day 2002 at the New River Valley Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, WV. He was trained as a "passive indicator", meaning he sits quietly when he detects the presence or residual odor of explosives or explosive components. His name, Stuka comes from the word Sturzkampfflugzeug , which in German means dive bomber (literally: plunging combat aircraft) from the famous WWII german aircraft.

Thank you Don Lindsey and the Vienna Police Dept. for hosting the 13th annual (2008) WVPCA seminar in Parkersburg, WV, April 21-25. The accommodations and training grounds were wonderful, the event was well organized and well attended. We thank the instructors and helpers who facilitated the certification of many fine police and other working K-9 teams. It is always a thrill to watch the many different dogs work. The weather was great, much was learned and we had great fun with a lot of old and new friends. Keep training--next year is just around the corner!

"The one absolutely
unselfish friend
that man can have
in this selfish world,
the one that
never deserts him,
the one that
never proves
ungrateful
or treacherous,
is his dog."
