Taichung police dog first trained in both drug detection, rescue
2025-03-20
A dog from Taichung recently became Taiwan’s most accomplished police pup. Trained to sniff out drugs, the police dog Uhoo once cracked a major nightclub drug case. Over the last two years, Uhoo’s handler has dedicated extra time to search-and-rescue training. Uhoo recently passed the intermediate search-and-rescue dog certification, making her Taiwan’s first police dog trained in both drug detection and search-and-rescue.
At her handler’s command, this golden Labrador jumps into the car and starts searching.
The dog’s attention focuses on the door, indicating she has detected the smell of drugs there.
At only three years old, Uhoo has served on the Taichung police canine team for two years. She is trained not only to find drugs, but to locate trapped people as well.
Uhoo walks around the rubble, investigating the scene with her nose. She barks loudly when she finds a human scent, showing her training as a search-and-rescue dog.

Domestic police dogs don’t actually have a certification system. They need to take IRO international assessments held by the fire department to obtain a professional working dog certification. Search-and-rescue training improves the dog’s physical performance, which, in turn, gives them more endurance to perform their primary drug detection duties.
With her especially talented nose, Uhoo successfully obtained the intermediate search-and-rescue certification, making her the first dog in Taiwan that can perform both search-and-rescue and drug detection.

For drug detection, the signal is to sit down and stare at the drugs. For search-and-rescue, the dog needs to bark to indicate it has found someone. At first, when she was learning something new, she might suddenly seem confused and unsure of what to do. But I think she is naturally talented.
After two years of training, the talented Uhoo is the first dog in Taiwan that can serve on both the police force and firefighting team.

全能汪汪！台灣首隻「雙功能」警犬 會緝毒也能搜救
2025-03-20
來看狗狗界，這隻全能型戰將！來自台中市的警犬"Uhoo"，曾破獲夜店毒品案，立下大功，想不到牠的專長，不只有這樣，兩年多來，領犬員透過額外時間，和牠一同投入搜救訓練，在上個周末，成功通過"中級搜救犬"認證，成為了台灣第一隻，兼具緝毒和搜救的雙功能警犬！
指令一下，拉布拉多犬，全神貫注，跳上轎車，展開搜索。
精準鎖定門把，因為牠聞到了夾層內的毒品氣味。
來自台中市警犬隊的緝毒犬Uhoo，年僅3歲，年資2年多，靠著靈敏嗅覺，多次立功，但專業絕技，可不只這樣，牠可是全台第一隻「雙功能戰犬」。
走在瓦礫碎石堆，聞呀聞，找到人類氣息，立刻大聲吠叫，這不是搜救犬，才做得到的事嗎?

"國內的警犬其實是沒有認證制度的，要自我提升，要參加消防署舉辦的IRO國際評量測驗，才有機會取得專業的(功能犬)證照，在搜救犬(訓練)方面，提升牠體能訓練的話，回過頭來，牠可以更有體力的，去做牠的本業(緝毒)"
簡直是全能狗狗，不只揪出毒品，又能搜救，靠著一"鼻"神通，Uhoo成功通過國際評量，取得中級搜救犬認證，也是全台首隻兼具搜救、緝毒的神犬。

"因為緝毒的標定是坐下，盯著毒品，搜救的部分是找到人，需要吠叫示意，的確牠曾經，因為一開始在學習新的東西的時候，可能牠會忽然覺得，我現在是要幹什麼，但我覺得牠蠻有天賦的"
靠著兩年訓練，活潑好玩的Uhoo，"警消"兼具，成了警界，首位全能型狗狗戰將。
