FAQs — Trumpington
We favour Malinois, working-line German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds and — for family placements — sometimes Cane Corso and Rottweilers with the right temperament. Breed choice depends on the household. Nerve, sociability and clarity in the bite are all screened before a dog is offered. If a dog doesn't pass, it doesn't go out — regardless of the postcode it's heading to.
Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Trumpington Meadows nature reserve, and are switched off unless commanded. That's the whole point. A properly trained dog has an on/off switch. Off is the default. On is a command from you.
