K9 Tazer Retires PDF Print E-mail

He's built a national reputation as a law enforcement officer.  But like all good things, his career is coming to an end.

"Tazer was a phenom as soon as he started," says Mower County Sheriff's Sergeant Jeff Ellis.

And he would know.  Tazer is his K-9 partner

"Every regional event he has ever entered he has won," Ellis said. "So out of the regional events he's won 7, and 5 national titles as top dog in the country".

No dog has ever won more than two national titles.  And Tazer's success could be because he blurred the line between "work" and "play".

"Having the dog want to work and do the job and not really being a job, but just play time".

And he's had an impact: "I would say at this point after his career he's well into the 400 arrest range with me," Ellis said.

After neatly a decade with Ellis and the Sheriff's Department, Tazer is retiring to become a family pet. And retirement brings some perks:

"He gets to eat people food now," Ellis said. "He was never allowed to in his training just because we didn't want that as a distraction".

And he's got some favorites: "I would have to say popcorn and peanuts. Those are his two favorite things".

And even though Tazer is ending his law enforcement career, he's leaving a strong legacy.  At least seven of his sons are working as K-9 officers, two of them in Austin.
