Every canine inspection proposal looks alike on paper. The difference lies in the animal — in what it was conditioned to detect, in whether the certification is current, and in the physical condition in which it arrives to work.
The international benchmark breed for operational detection: high olfactory capacity, physical endurance, stability under noise and vibration, and a build suited to the confined spaces of a vessel.
Dogs conditioned to narcotics, firearms, ammunition and gunpowder residue, under both active and passive protocols.
A scarce resource on the Brazilian market. An explosives dog does not detect drugs — the specialisation is exclusive and does not stack. Deployed on demand.
Conditioned to the chemical compound present in electronic components — detects the device even when switched off or without a battery.
Conditioning to explosives requires separate training, a mandatory passive alert protocol and its own scent maintenance routine. A provider offering an explosive ordnance sweep with the same dog that performs narcotics searches is offering something that does not exist technically.
Each dog in the kennel has its own file, available to the client for verification and audit.
Animal identification, target substances conditioned, alert protocol, training hours and expiry date.
Periodic sessions with controlled target odours, recording detection rate and false alert rate.
Breed, date of birth, microchip, assigned handler and incident history.
Immunisation up to date, recorded by the responsible veterinarian.
Clinical fitness issued by a veterinarian, with periodic reassessment.
Technical assessment in operational canine science, with a fitness opinion for the intended deployment.
Animal welfare is not a courtesy — it is a technical condition of alert reliability. An exhausted, unwell or over-exposed animal ceases to be a dependable detection instrument.
We suggest that proposal evaluation include a controlled test with the dogs, applied to every bidder — with samples placed by the client and without prior notice. It reveals, within minutes, the difference between a certified dog and just any dog.
