Green Dogs

​

At Valkyrie Police Dogs, we understand that no two police forces are the same. Every force operates in different environments, faces different operational demands, and has its own expectations of a General Purpose Police Dog. That's why we don't simply source dogs—we carefully select them with the end user in mind.

Our green dogs are chosen through a precise and highly regarded selection process, developed through years of experience. We assess each dog's natural drives, nerve, confidence, environmental stability, health, and overall suitability for police work before it ever enters our training programme.

We invest time in getting to know each force we work with. By understanding your operational requirements, policing environment, deployment style, bite development expectations, and future objectives, we're able to match the right dog to the right organisation. Building long-term relationships with our clients allows us to consistently provide dogs that integrate seamlessly into their units and go on to become successful operational partners.

License-Ready Dogs

​

Alongside our carefully selected green dogs, we also maintain a limited breeding programme using proven working bloodlines.

These puppies are raised and developed within our own programme before progressing through structured training. By controlling every stage of their development, we're able to produce young dogs trained to an exceptionally high standard, with many approaching licensing readiness.

These dogs are particularly well suited to experienced handlers, re-team situations, or departments looking to return a handler to operational deployment as efficiently as possible. Starting with a dog that has already received a consistent foundation significantly reduces training time while maintaining the high standards expected of a police service dog.

Supporting Succession Planning

​

Replacing an experienced General Purpose Police Dog is an important decision, and effective succession planning begins well before retirement.

We welcome early conversations with forces and handlers who are planning ahead. Understanding your anticipated timescales, operational requirements, preferred characteristics, and future needs allows us to tailor our sourcing, selection, and breeding programmes accordingly.

Advance notice enables us to identify suitable green dogs, structure individual development plans, and make informed breeding decisions that align with your future requirements. The earlier we can work together, the greater our ability to deliver the right dog at the right time, ensuring continuity within your dog section and minimising operational disruption.
