This report examines the use of dogs as mine detection devices. The author identifies essential and optional characteristics of a mine detection dog (MDD). Furthermore, the paper discusses the possibility of breeding an MDD in relation to genetic and behavioral issues. The analysis concludes by recommending that a broadening of perspectives on the selection, use and training of MDDs could improve safety and operational capacity in current practice.
