To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for what reason his Department has recently issued a recall for improvised explosive device detection dogs to be returned to the Defence Animal Centre for rehoming; and if he will make a statement.
It is Directorate of Army Veterinary Remount Services policy that all classifications of military working dogs, including counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) dogs, that fall below the minimum operational standards, are returned to the Canine Training Squadron at the Defence Animal Centre where they are given a detailed health and employment evaluation by qualified and experienced dog trainers and veterinary officers.
For the majority, the evaluation is followed by a period of focused restorative training prior to being issued back to the Front Line Command or a new Defence user. For a small number this will not be an option and, in the case of dogs purchased to meet the C-IED Urgent Operational Requirement, an independent evaluation team will confirm that they are no longer able to remain within the service and re-homing is to be explored.
