EIGHT AND A HALF WEEK OLD CARL, SAYING, "HI."
YEARS AGO, WE USED TO HAVE DOG CARDS.
THEY LIKE THE WAY THAT LENS TASTES,
WE'RE TRYING TO GET WITH THE TIMES SO NOW WE'RE TRYING TO DO VIRTUAL DOG CARDS.
SO, WE HAD A PHOTO SHOOT TODAY OF THE PUPS WE HAVE ON THE GROUND HERE,
THEIR "ROOKIE CARDS."
Nat: HE'S NOT REAL HAPPY WITH ME!
HE'S CAMERA SHY!
WE HAVE TO REALLY BE SELECTIVE ON THE DOGS
THAT WERE GOING TO TAKE AND INITIATE INTO THE BREEDING PROGRAM.
WE ONLY WANT THE BEST OF THE BEST.
WELL, WE WANT THAT DOG THAT WILL ALMOST WORK HIMSELF TO DEATH.
THEY HAVE TO BE ACTIVE!
THEY HAVE TO BE OUT THERE DOING THAT!
BUT THAT'S WHERE THAT HANDLER COMES INTO PLAY,
IS TO KIND OF CONTROL THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
THE HUNT, AIR SCENT, RETRIEVE, AND PREY DRIVE, BEING THE PRIMARY DRIVES WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
NOT THAT ONE THAT JUST WANTS TO SIT ON THE COUCH ALL DAY OR IS HAPPY TO LAY ON THE FLOOR.
A DOG THAT WILL BE ADEQUATELY SOCIAL IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT,
SO THEY CAN BE DEPLOYED AT ALL LEVELS.
YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE UP THERE JEALOUS.
A TOTAL OF SIX.
THERE ARE THREE YELLOW AND THREE BLACK IN THIS LITTER.
WE CONTROL THE BREEDING STOCK, SO THE MALE AND FEMALE,
THAT ARE BRED FOR THESE DOGS HERE, ARE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL.
WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD.
I THINK WE'LL HAVE REALLY GOOD SUCCESS RATE
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE INSTRUCTORS RIGHT HERE AT THE FACILITY,
ALONG WITH THE VETERINARIAN STAFF,
INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN RAISING AND REARING THESE PUPPIES.
Nat: YOU GUYS DID GOOD.
FIRST PHOTO SHOOT, NICE JOB.
WE'RE GONNA DO UPDATES ON THE DOGS,
ON HOW WELL THEY DO THROUGH THEIR INITIAL TRAINING AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
Nat: LOOK AT THEM TEETH, IT'S A BIG REWARD.
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CONTACT YOU WITH THE EMAIL AND SEND PICTURES,
THAT, "YEAH, HERE'S KIRP, HE GOT FIFTY POUNDS OF COCAINE TODAY,"
IT REALLY PAYS IT FORWARD AND WE HAVE TO LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH THEIR EFFORTS TOO.
WE PUT OUR HEART, SOUL AND ALL OUR EFFORT INTO GETTING THESE GUYS RAISED UP
AND BEING A PART OF THE SUCCESSFUL CBP CANINE FAMILY.
Nat: YOU HEAR THOSE BIG DOGS BARKING?
THAT'LL BE YOU, ONE DAY.
