After the dogs ore trained, they are then sold to
a buyer in Riverside. C-alif., who sells thorn to the
department for about $5,000 each. Schulke said the
department has received top dogs because of the
"ruthless genetic engineers" in Europe.
The department selects a dog for its good tem
perament as well as for its aggressiveness As
Schulke says, the dog s bark is usually worse than
its bite.
"They get portrayed as vicious man-eaters, but
none of them ore like that," Schulke said.
The department recently bought a Dutch Mali
nois, Nikko, and also a 95-pound Golden Labrador.
Woody, that will be used to detect drugs. This brings
the deportment's total to five dogs.
Schulke and Hans reflect just a part of the patrol.
Schulke, 35, joined the police force in 1988 after he
graduated from the University. He began working
on the K-9 unit two years later and worked briefly
with another dog. Trux.
But for the past two-and-a-half years, he and Ins
wet-nosed, pointy-eared partner have been
patrolling Eugene, Four nights a week from 5:30
p.m. to 3:30 am., they drive around the city, wait
ing to be dispatched.
Hans is the co-pilot, sitting in the specially
designed backseat of the blue and while Chevro

Hans lives with the single Schulke at his 11 -acre
