Rwanda

They are such gorgeous animals

On this trip to Uganda and Rwanda the only one of the Big Five we did not see this trip was a Lion. They are better found in the areas of Kenya and Tanzania.

Visit to the Park Headquarters. These are our vehicles we had the whole time in Rwanda.

While meeting at the Headquarters and listening to information from the Commander of the Park a group of Belgium Malinois puppies came into our area. Who does not like to pet a puppy?

These are moto bikes and bicycles confiscated from Poachers that were apprehended by the Park Police and the Belgium Malinois.

The truck and crates are used to transport the dogs in training out into the field by their handlers at the Park.

Belgian Malinois is a great police dog. The Police dog should have excellent nose and a keen intellect, because police often search for drugs, bombs and guns. Moreover, police dog should be loyal and willing to protect his owner no matter what. Belgian Malinois has all the aforementioned features and he is also alert to the surroundings. That’s why Belgian Malinois is a terrific police dog.

The Malinois has the perfect temperament, intelligence, dedication, agility and high level of diligence to be the perfect anti-poaching K9 soldier on the front line, protecting our precious wildlife. They also have a very strong bite strength, making them very effective in the field.

They are extremely protective over their handlers, and or family member, and will fight with all their strength and power to protect them. However they are incredibly loving, soft and playful at all other times, and actually have very sensitive natures. They form beautiful bonds with their human companions, when treated with love and respect.

The training is extreme but they are the best at what they do in saving animals from the Poachers in the Park.
