Har polismyndigheterna något/några nya sätt att få fram hundar? Har det blivit svårare att få tag i hundar sen Hundskolan slog igen? Svårt att få tag i bra hundar om testerna är för svåra? Betalar polisen för dåligt för sina hundar? Resultatet i rapporten som kommit fram är att de två myndigheter jag intervjuat har nästan samma sätt arbeta för att få fram bra polishundar. Rapporten visar vad en polishund gör för jobb (ordningshunden). Cheferna på hundenheterna säger att det krävs bra tester för bra blivande polishundar. Det resultat som visat sig är att det finns dåligt med hundar att rekrytera.

The aim with the present study was to investigate whether there is a difference between the course participants who find their way to the dog-school respective the Swedish Working Dog Association.

Course participants from two dog-schools and from two of the local clubs belonging to the Swedish Working Dog Association in Skaraborg, Sweden, answered a questionnaire. In total 85 answers were collected, including 60 from the course participants from Swedish Working Dog Associations and 25 from the dog school?s course.

In 1936 a governmental breeding project was started with aim on military use. The police later came to use dogs from this project as well. In order to utilize dogs that could fit for other purposes training and education of dogs for search of different substances and of guide dogs for blind persons was performed. A political decision to privatize the whole dog programme was taken in 1992. During most part of the time one had serious economical issues since too few of the dogs that were bred could be considered to fulfil the basic demands for service. To satisfy the need of service dogs private bred dogs were bought as well.
