Tarheel Canine is proud to announce that we have agreed to donate a green German Shepherd to the winner of the NJ Police K9 Association Raffle. The drawing will be held on October 18, 2008.

In the past two years, Tarheel Canine has been fortunate to do an increasing amount of business in the north east, and especially forge relationships with many of the trainers in the NJ area to provide quality K9s for their K9 classes.

Jimmy Kaelin, of Gloucester TWP Training Center in Gloucester, NJ, was kind to place an ad in the September 2008 Issue of the USPCA K9 Courier announcing the raffle and making the following statement on behalf of the NJ Police K9 Association:

"The executive board of the NJ Police K9 Association would like to personally thank Mr. Jerry Bradshaw, owner and operator of Tarheel K9 considered by many as the #1 broker in the country of police dogs, for his generous donation of the canine. In the event the winner is someone other then law enforcement, he or she will be asked to donate the canine to a law enforcement agency."

If anyone reading this post wishes to purchase tickets or get more information, e-mail me malinois_jb@mindspring.com and i will pass along your request to the NJ Police K9 Association.

I wish to thank Jimmy for the kind words, and to say that i am greatful to the brave men and women who proudly risk their lives on behalf of us all, and especially to those officers on the street with Tarheel K9 dogs!

I look forward to making the presentation of the k9 to the department winning this raffle!
