Bjorn is a 5 year old Dutch shepherd that worked as a dual purpose narcotics K9 for the Sheriff’s office. Unfortunately, Bjorn was medically retired due to an on-duty injury. After some training with the family, Bjorn has been enjoying retirement with my wife and two kids (two and four) to keep him entertained. They are usually outdoors running around our muti acre property or indoors making forts.

Update 2026: K9 Bjorn has transitioned well to retired life. He spends his days outside playing with the kids, laying in the sun, and still finds time for all his naps.
