The dog has played an important and significant role for mankind throughout history. It's no coincidence that they are known as "Man's best friend". Traditional tasks that the dog has performed include hunting, herding and guarding. In modern times its role has adapted to perform complex tasks in a great number of new areas which many people are not aware of or thinking about. My aim with this report is to attempt to chart as many different ways of using dogs as possible, in order to make society conscious of the great benefits the dog can offer society. .

Har polismyndigheterna något/några nya sätt att få fram hundar? Har det blivit svårare att få tag i hundar sen hundskolan slog igen? Svårt att få tag i bra hundar om testerna är för svåra? Betalar polisen för dåligt för sina hundar? Resultatet i rapporten som kommit fram är att de två myndigheter jag intervjuat har nästan samma sätt arbeta för att få fram bra Polishundar. Rapporten visar vad en Polishund gör för jobb (ordningshunden). Cheferna på hundenheterna säger att det krävs bra tester för bra blivande Polishundar. Det resultat som visat sig är att det finns dåligt med hundar att rekrytera.

In 1936 a governmental breeding project was started with aim on military use. The police later came to use dogs from this project as well. In order to utilize dogs that could fit for other purposes training and education of dogs for search of different substances and of guide dogs for blind persons was performed. A political decision to privatize the whole dog programme was taken in 1992. During most part of the time one had serious economical issues since too few of the dogs that were bred could be considered to fulfil the basic demands for service. To satisfy the need of service dogs private bred dogs were bought as well.
