Introducing BOLD Dogs: Incredible Pups that Use Our Gear

Meet Hank:

The remarkable 5.5-year-old Czech Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix who has transitioned from a dedicated patrol dog to a CNCA Certified Explosives Detection K9, safeguarding events across Oregon. With a keen nose and unwavering dedication, Hank, alongside his handler, plays a crucial role in ensuring public safety at major events. In this feature, we celebrate Hank's achievements and highlight how our Bolder K9 gear supports his important work.

Hank's Journey from Patrol to Explosives Detection

Hank has had an impressive career, from his early days as a patrol dog to his current role as a single-purpose Explosives Detection K9. He works on a daily basis with his handler to ensure he excels in such a demanding field. 

Ensuring Safety at Major Events

Hank works many gigs across the West Coast, but a few of his recent jobs will have you amazed! He's sniffed his way around high-profile concerts, thrilling Motocross events, and Portland Trailblazers games. Each of these jobs requires him to check thousands of people and locations around the events to ensure everyone's safety.

The Essential Gear for a K9 Hero

But, it's our job to make sure Hank and his handler have the best gear possible for their rigorous work. Here are the pieces Hank uses on a daily basis that we handmade especially for him:

  • Professional Sewn Leash: Our Sewn BioThane Professional Leash is perfect for high-demand, heavy use working dogs like Hank. Being sewn, it is strong yet incredibly lightweight - perfect for a K9 and their handler alike. It's also fully waterproof and can handle high use on a daily basis.
  • Custom "Working K9" Collar: To ensure Hank is not interrupted during his work, we created a high-visibility, extra wide BioThane collar with "Working K9" in reflective white vinyl for Hank to wear when he's on the clock. 
  • Element Sewn Tug Toy: Throughout Hank's job, he depends on a good play session with his Sewn BioThane Tug Toy as a reward. A great, high-quality tug toy is an essential piece of gear in any handler's toolkit.

Hank's Upcoming Adventures

Next up, Hank will be branching into California to hit new challenges and adventures that await him and his handler. As he travels state to state, venue to venue, and sniff to sniff, they depend on our gear to ensure safety and reliability. No matter what the environment looks like, we have the gear for them.
