Newborn police puppies LIVE webcam

Devon and Cornwall Police’s newest puppy recruits can be seen live over the internet.

For the first time ever the dog section has bred its own litter of pups from an existing police dog and the force is streaming the dogs’ welfare live over the web.

Police German Shepherd ‘Ruby’ gave birth to the litter of pups early in the morning of Monday 3 June.

It is hoped that when they are old enough they will be able to be trained up as police dogs for the Force.

After an initial period with their mother the puppies will go to family homes for a period of twelve to eighteen months before being assessed for training as police dogs.

If successful, the dogs will then embark on an intensive 13 week training course, which will teach them to assist tracking missing people, locate stolen property, chase and detain suspects, and keep order in crowd control situations.

The four female and three male pups and the mother are doing well and can be seen by clicking here.
