I'm sure they are socialized as puppies, but they are not taken for car rides to the local bank to get a cookie, taken to the parks or walked around the neighborhood asking "will you be my friend"! These are serious working dogs with a specific purpose. They are hard/strong nerved/STABLE dogs. Their purpose is not to be Officer Friendly. They are trained for bomb detection/drug detection/sentry/PP. They do have fight drives that are outstanding, but they are also very well obedience trained. On/Off buttons. They are stable and social enough to be able to do crowd control and go on tours to protect the President of the United States and all other dignitaries. But they do not live with their handlers until and if they qualify to be adopted when retired. There is no room for fear in their resume! Fear aggression as Larry said has no room in ANY dog worth their grain of salt.

Just for the record, I'm no trainer and have never trained a Sch dog or MWD of any kind. I have been exposed to MWD up close and personal and know what they are capable of. I've seen where they live and watched them being worked. Very impressive.
