So the misses was showing my nipper some old fotos and came across these. Didn`t even know she had them.
So here for the GSD lovers amongst you. Unfortunatly all 3 were destroyed.
The British army of the Day wouldn`t rehome working dogs once they were getting old. If they were lucky the calmer ones went to training depots, the hard guard dogs ended up in Combat zones, only to be destroyed when we pulled out because few people would work with them back home.
That is what Happened to Bruce. Haven`t found a picture of him but if I do I will post it. Meanest damn dog I ever had the pleasure to rely on. Saved my ass a few times. Only to be destroyed in Bosnia because no Body else could work with him.
We had a mutual agreement going. I wouldn`t send him anywhere on his own, and he would stop biting me LMAO still have scares from the 3 times he did. Little bastard!
I was gutted when they told he he was being put down. Little Bastard wouldn`t let anybody but me near his Kennel, and if you did get in he would rip you to bits.
Anyway
This is Me finishing with the Vet Corps. Me rear left and Charlie front centre (Poacher if memory serves me right) left shortly after for Bos.
At the time this and 5 other Vet Corp guys, were all that was the Vet Corp in BAOR.
If Bos hadn`t of happened when it did the Britsh Government was going to Disbanded the Corp, and all animal work would have gone out to Civvie tender. Since Afghan they now have an overflow of would be Handlers and have to turn more than half away.
This is me young and fit, with Bren during my time with the Vet Corps
This is still the same Young and Fit me with Ringo. Still with the Vet Corps
This one is of me and Tabre. Only remember that because it says so on his Kennel. Not 100% sure because he wasn`t actually my dog, but I think he was another not get home from Bosnia.
