Barking from: Pukekohe, Auckland
What's up, dog?
Chase is a retired Military Working Dog (MWD) who was the first Malinois to serve with the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He served 8 years protecting our Airmen and Aircraft and finished his career by training new handlers. He is enjoying his retired life by relaxing and socializing with his 2 currently serving owners. As the first Malinois with the RNZAF, he set the benchmark for the following working dogs and his intelligence helped train future handlers in the high skills needed to serve.
