imported_Matty Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Is this true? I heard that drug dealers (major dealers) keep a lot of dogs around so they always have a dog in heat. I heard that if police ever searched the home or property the smell will keep the canine unit off the scent of dope? :hmmmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Yikes I haven't heard of that before but I'm not sure if a well trained dog would be thrown off he scent if it was an evident dope scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 they would have to have a lot of dogs to have a bitch in season all the time- breeders with a few bitches find they often come into season together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 it wouldnt matter if the dog is a professionally trained drug dog. Most of them will ignore any other scent but what they are looking for, especiallyif neutered. Its becoming commonly accepted to neuter drug dogs for just this reason. But the myth persists with the dealers. Many of them have been slammed for just this reason, they thought they were safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Matty Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks for clearing that up. I just heard that the other day, cause theres a (supposed) drug dealer in my area. He has quite a few dogs and that is what some one told me the reason he has all the dogs. Maybe he just loves dogs :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnek Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 depends on the dog. coffee can throw some drug dogs off, because the scent is overwhelming. When coffee comes into play they use scenthounds, like Laurel, and sometimes even bloodhounds to do the searches. Their noses are even more sensitive than the average dogs. Beagles are especially good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicksstar Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 With Charlie currently in heat I cant think of any thing worse than having all these dogs in heat. It is not fun... :-? And as its been said a lot of times the girls will come in at the same time. So not sure about the logic in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Cassie Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Katrina I currently have a bitch in heat and she is driving my neutered male Dobie mix Beua crazy :roll: not in the sense of the wonderful scent she gives off but the fact she is riding him and sticking her butt in his face every chance she gets :lol: she stands there flagging him and poor Beau is getting very confused as he doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Cassie Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I meant to add, usually there are signs that will signify a person may be growing drugs or selling. If growing Marijuana in the house (In Canada it's pretty difficult to grow out doors unless in the summer). They can tell some one is growing Marijuana in the house due to the unusually high hydro being used. The hydro companies will report very unusual high usage to the police dept to check into. In my area this is how 80% of drug growers are caught. Another give away is the amount of company you have and the length of time they stay. If neighbors report that another neighbor has a lot of guests during the day and throughout the night and they only seem to stay a few minutes...this is also a give away for a drug dealer. I think (not really sure) that most drug busts are done without the Canine unit ( in home drug bust). They would catch the perp with a small amount on them...then they would bring the Canine unit in. I have a few friends who are cops and they usually wait until after the house is cleared out to look for the stash. Most drug houses have a couple of dogs and it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
