Mountie, Dale of Cawsalta, was pur-
chased in 1935.

Dale, a German Shepherd, was
owned by Sergeant John Cawsey and
first came into prominence in 1933
when he tracked an Indian through
new-fallen snow from a burgled car
to a cabin five miles away. When the
case went to court the dog’s evidence
was not admitted because the visible
track had been broken in several
places.

Later Dale repeated his perform-
ance by finding a missing two-year-old
girl in an abandoned farm field.

Mounties Have 15 Dogs

This achievement decided the
Ottawa officials and they purchased
Dale from Cawsey, who became the
force's first dogmaster. Later a kennel
was established at Regina to train the
canine constables in police work and
today the Mounties have fifteen
Police Service Dogs and two dog-
training kennels.

Since they were first adopted the
dogs have proven their worth many
times over and some of their feats
have become legendary. A Doberman
Pinscher named Perky took up a trail
at a still and followed it to a nearby
farmhouse where he picked out the
moonshiner from among seven people.
Another canine constable back-
tracked a moonshiner’s dog to find a
hidden still.

Dog Retrieves Nitroglycerine

A police dog in Alberta surprised
his master by setting out in pursuit of
a band of safecrackers and returning
with a bottle of nitroglycerine which
the men had discarded.

Bachue, the first Rottweiler regis-
tered in Canada, followed the 24-hour
old track of a wagon used in a
granary theft—the first time the trail
of a vehicle had ever been followed
by a dog.

“Good law-enforcement dogs,” ac-
cording to Corporal Lee, an instructor
at the Rockcliffe Kennels, “are born,
not made.”

Lee claims that desired qualities
which are noticed in the dog’s puppy
days are encouraged and developed
by endless patience and _ teaching,
creating “a perfect understanding be-
tween man and animal.” é

So thorough is the schooling given
the dogs that untrained animals

worth $35 have emerged from the
80-lesson course with a market value
of from $500 to $1,000.

Rugged Training

During the nine months’ course the
dogs repeat their lessons over and
over again, learning to obey com.
mands, to scramble over Straight
board fences 10 feet high, to jump
through open windows and_ over
barbed wire fences, to climb ladders
and search box-cars.

Among other things the dogs are
taught to dodge blows and, on the
order “Hag,” to throw down or trip
and guard a fleeing criminal.

While they can be mean customers
in a rough and tumble, the dogs are
not vicious and will never attack
unless their quarry makes a hostile
move. Even then they are taught to
go for an arm or leg and not for a
man’s throat.

When the dogs misbehave, which is
often during the early stages of their
training, they are punished by being
made to crawl a few feet on their
stomachs. There was one case where a
dog, searching for a lost object in an
open field, took out after a rabbit.
Almost out of sight of his master
before he remembered what he was
supposed to be doing, the dog got
down and crawled before returning
to the job.

In another instance a canine pupil
escaped from his kennel and was
eventually found all alone on the
training ground going over his lessons.
