In Poland and other countries, the two breeds that are most commonly trained for police operations are the German Shepherd (GS) and the Belgian Shepherd Malinois (BSM). The purchase, training and maintenance of police dogs are very expensive. Appropriate preselection can lower those costs. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare GS and BSM dogs based on their performance in obedience, obstacle, defense and tracking tests. The study was performed on 222 dogs which participated in patrol-tracking training, patrol training and tracking training at the Kennel of the Police Training Center in Sułkowice. In many exercises: stay in obedience, stair climbing, balance beam, wooden wall and an obstacle course in obstacle completion, pursuit with a muzzle, pursuit without a muzzle and guarding detainees in defense, as well as field search, indoor search and vocalization in tracking, BSM were scored significantly better than GS.
