In an unexpected twist, the Royal Thai Army is organising an auction to rehome 64 dogs that, despite their rigorous training, didn't quite make the cut to become service dogs. These canines, all aged between 2.9 and 3.3 years, hail from two esteemed breeds: German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. The event is scheduled for 16th November and will take place at the Military Dog Centre in Pak Chong district.

 

Prospective bidders will find both breeds well-represented, with nine male and sixteen female German Shepherds, alongside twenty-three male and sixteen female Belgian Malinois. These dogs, although trained, were either deemed too friendly, were underweight, or overweight, which prevented them from meeting stringent military standards.

To participate in the auction, interested individuals must bring along a copy of their ID card and photographs of the place where these intelligent, friendly canines will be cared for. This unique opportunity not only provides these loyal animals with the chance to find a welcoming home but also invites dog lovers to include a highly obedient and well-trained companion in their lives.

So will they bring photos of the local wat where they will dump them once they realise they don't want the dog?

I’d love to have one but doubt a foreigner would be on the top of the list.

Why not shift training to being seeing eye guide dogs.  Bet there is a need for them and the discipline training is complete.

Beautiful animals.

I would love to get one but I am no longer fit enough to walk the beast.

They would certainly soon sort out the local soi dogs.

Donate them to Thai Customs to train as sniffer dogs for Cannabis at airports.

It's an auction yes? Top of the list is the highest bid; nationality is irrelevant.
