As a major supplier of Law Enforcement dogs both in Australia, and around the world, our proven track record speaks for itself.
We have been supplying dogs for Australian & International agencies for over 15 years with specifically bred canines for a variety of security purposes. Agencies like the Australian Federal Police, Emergency Services Unit for the Victorian Prisons, Queensland Prisons, Queensland Police, N.S.W Police, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia and Fiji.

Von Forell has also developed a subjective yet repeatable test, which measures and grades traits important for working Dog Breeding and training. These puppies' parents undergo an intensive selection criterion. Only the most powerful animals are bred with to produce these high level dogs required for Law Enforcement.

All our Law Enforcement dogs, whether bred or selected by us carry the following traits:

  • High Retrieval
  • Clear Hips and Elbows
  • High Energy, yet not hectic
  • Strong and solid Hard Grip
  • Active Aggression
  • Strong—Intense Prey Drive
  • High Pain Threshold
  • Excellent Recovery from Stressful
  • Situations
  • Balanced Drives
  • Socially Confident
  • Adaptability

Have bred and trained dogs for over 26 years, we are recognized for isolating, harnessing and encouraging these traits.

"These dogs are for highly qualified & experienced handlers that demand Strong, Powerfully Driven Dogs with a serious edge that expect their dog to exhibit a range of plastic, but 'adaptive' manageable responses"
