Comparison of the performance of German Shepherds and Belgian Shepherd Malinois in scent detection tests
Original language description
Detection dogs trained to search for various odorous substances are an effective tool in the fight against crime. Due to the high costs of training and maintaining these dogs, it is necessary to preselect suitable individuals for this purpose. One of the selection criteria is the dog breed. Unfortunately, there is a lack of studies that compare dog breeds for their suitability as detection dogs. Until the recent past, German Shepherds were widely used by police, army and customs services around the world. However, over the last few decades, Belgian Shepherd Malinois have become more popular in terms of service cynology. The aim of our study was to compare the two most common working dog breeds, namely the German Shepherd and Belgian Shepherd Malinois (Malinois). The prediction was made that Malinois would not outperform German Shepherds. For this purpose, we evaluated the results of customs dogs (539 German Shepherds and 177 Malinois) currently undergoing their certification process against data from a 10 year database.
