SOUTH CHESHIRE: Cheshire Police are asking local breeders, suppliers and the general public if they would like to donate suitable dogs to be trained up to work alongside the force's police dog handlers.

Ideally, the police dog handlers are looking for a German Shepherd or Alsatian dog, or Mallinois dog aged between one and two years. The dog must be confident around people and other animals and enjoy the interaction.

Anyone with a dog they would be interested in donating should contact Mike Jones on 01606 362 681.
